Biography
Alisa Apreleva is a Russian-American "singing cellist", composer, poet. She works in the style of "art-symbolism", as she defines it herself, - “the symphonious synthesis of music, lyrics, scenic image and personality of the performer". Alisa Apreleva's music is rooted in a wide variety of genres: from rock to jazz to authentic folklore to music theatre to film music, to name a few.
Alisa Apreleva's most recent project, "Lucidus", includes 11 compositions for voice, drums and three celli, one of which plays Alisa herself. The project exists in two line-ups. The Russian one features two accomplished cellists Peter Akimov and Peter Suraykin, who are well known for their rock+cello experiments, and Stanislav Perevesentsev as a sound producer. The American line-up consists of Berklee-associated musicians - Dean Capper (cello, USA), Halley Feaster (cello, USA), Andrés Marin (drums and percussion, Costa Rica) and Marte Roel (voice processing, Mexico).
"Lucidus" is a completely unique sounding and emotive experience for anyone who listens to it. It is a strange, atmospheric mixture of classical, rock, ethnic and sacred elements, which takes you beyond the point of just listening to the music and gives you a chance to go for a mystical journey toward your true self.
