Natalia Beylis’ music revolves somewhere between sonic story-teller and multi-instrumental explorer. She has released over 40 albums between solo works and collaborations and has appeared on numerous compilations. Her work parallels the lines of her surroundings: bird song, creaky trees, farm animals, the northwesterly breeze and rainfall. Lots and lots of rainfall.
Her solo compositions and improvisations are a unique calling of a Ukrainian born, American raised, Irish settled subconscious. The resulting sounds are a mix of garbled tape collage recordings, eerie mandola mantras and dreamscape piano voyages.
While she regularly records on a variety of traditional instruments (mainly pianos, organs, keyboards and mandola), she is just as likely to use non-musical sound sources within her compositions. For example, she recently released an album using just the sounds created by a domestic sewing machine.
In her live performances, Natalia layers seemingly incongruous sounds atop of each other to spawn strange juxtapositions and garbled parallels by exploring the sonic potentials of domestic appliances, found objects, cassette tapes and field recordings.
