"Sohre [so-ray] is a rather illusive creature, mysterious as her music. Eclectic and evocative, her songs - like spider silk, drift around the world. Delicate, but holding open ears fast in their loom of melodic enchantment; fleeting echoes remain."
Hans Niemantsverdriet, Dutch public radio, Amsterdam NL

________________


Sohre's most recent project, The Night Between, resembles a metaphysical muse: giving expression to themes of existential angst, while exploring the continuity of change and the delicate balance between opposites.

Recorded in a variety of locations, including Amsterdam, London and a remote cabin in Washington State; one can hear a melding of flavour and spirit from a cast of fine musicians:

Michael Manring - fretless bass
Michael Moore - alto saxophone and bass clarinet
Chad Quist - electric guitar
Harald Austbø - cello
Ernst Glerum - contrabass
Storm Watson - fiddles, djembe, pota
Simon McCarty - djembe, bougarabou
Jim Eagan & Steven Byron Bentley - drums
Marhzimal Ondar - Tuvan throat singing, jews harp
Carl Dexter - guitars, harmonium, contrabass, tamboura, dumbek

Sohre composed and produced this project around her vocals, guitars, piano, keys, accordion, hurdy gurdy and percussion.

Captivating photography on eco-friendly digipak with full colour 8 panel insert (using soy-based inks) makes a statement in itself.

*Audio clips are taken from various sections of each song to give the listener a more accurate representation of the overall bend of each piece (in lieu of starting all songs at the beginning). You can get alternate samples on www.chrissohre.com as well as more details about this production.
