The
ethereal-clear timbre of her voice, floats above the raw din of an
earthly electronica – fae-like elements come
through the rich fabric of music, rhythmically layer upon layer,
inviting you to come dance in the woods, and listen to your true heart.
Ana Winter has spent years in
hiding – as a singer-songwriter, touring the folk circuit as a
‘girl-with-guitar’, in Toronto and across Canada. Her spiritual side
was always kept very separate and private from the music. This got
tedious. There were so many songs about the elements, mysticism and the
spirit, that never quite fit into a rock or folk model. This got
frustrating. Vocally, Ana never quite fit in – not quite the folksy
voice; not quite the rock voice; and not quite the pop voice, her
theatrical and classical training always emerged strong.
Ana
became the changeling – very slowly, morphing into herself – pulling
elements of her that were disjointed – writing (air), passion (fire),
music (water), business (earth) and spirit (akasha) – emerging as a
whole being in 2009.
Ana launched "Within The Mystic" in the
U.S. in May 2010, outside of Memphis Tennessee at the 31st Annual May
Day celebration put on by the Southern Delta Church of Wicca, and will
be having her Canadian launch at the Spirit of the Earth Festival in
London, Ontario in July 2010.
