Details:
Originally from Rome, Italy, Elisa Di Napoli has been composing and performing music in Ireland, Europe and New Zealand. Her work spans a variety of projects and genre including rock, dance, folk and ambient music.

Following completion of her solo concept album "La Spirale", in 2005 Elisa founded The Moon Whispers, a four piece band which has gigged extensively in Wellington, with tours to Christchurch and Auckland. The band's elaborate, melodic music has been described as glam, goth and psychedelic rock, but regardless of what you want to call them, their impressive orchestration and theatrical live sets have continued to grown and evolve.

In 2006 TMW released their debut self-titled EP and two new full-length album is scheduled for release in early 2008.

The Moon Whispers has also performed as a two-piece acoustic set with Cellist Jane Pierard at venues such as Mighty Mighty and the San Francisco Bath House, and opened for the Handsome Family during their 2006 tour.

In 2007 Elisa has released "Dance Your Pain Away", a collaborative dance project under The Moon Whispers moniker with contributions from Wellington dance artists Amy Davidson and the Upbeats, and Dublin-based electro composer Francis Heery.

The album collects this work, and the range of artists makes for a wide range of music. Listeners familiar with The Moon Whispers' usual blend of dark rock and folk will recognize the themes - darkness, pain, catharsis, energy - but here the music moves through drum and bass, house, electro, pop and downbeat.

Currently she is set to explore new musical forms, and is working on a solo album of ambient and experimental compositions.
