About Invocations FAERYE
"Invocations Faerye" is an EP of my compositions featuring three instrumental invocations for solo pedal harp.Somna M. Bulist is a harpist and composer. Her music combines elements of composed music with improvisation, electro-acoustic processing and extended harp techniques in a very personal expression. At once epic and intimate, her work is infused with references to Celtic folklore, the occult and aspects of urban subculture.
Ms. Bulist made her first public appearance at the 1998 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, where she performed her original work for solo harp, "The FAERYE Invocations", and, in the same year, a selection of the pieces were released on her debut CD, "Invocations FAERYE". She premiered her situational work in tribute to the millennium, "44 minutes on the flatline_A Cry for the Millennium", at the 1999 New York International Fringe Festival, a production of The Present Company. In her third Philadelphia Fringe Festival presentation Bulist featured Lillian deNile as the soprano is her dark wave opera, "Valentine Stigmata".

Album: Invocations FAERYE
Artist: Somna M. Bulist
“Fantasy-related songs on the harp come with a sort of risk, from the perspective of the listener; as lovely as many are, they also have a tendency to all sound the same. Somna M. Bulist manages to avoid this, as I point out in each rec for each song on this album. "The Mysterious" is the one that personally moves me the most; I can see the image of one approaching a wise woman, or sage, or prophet, with great joy and excitement, only to calm once entering the presence of this wise--perhaps holy--one who emits peace by his or her mere presence. The Unknown can be frightening, but it is also valuable, and worth seeking. Perhaps "The Mysterious, Revealer of the Truth" would be an equally accurate title.
If you are not certain about buying this album, then I suggest buying this one first--this is one song that will sweep you up and away, and tell you a fairy tale--a true one, a story filled with truth if not fact, and lessons worth learning--that you'll always remember.”

Bulist manages to avoid this, as I point out in each rec for each song on this album. "The Unseen" manages to do so especially well, reminding us that not all unseen-things are friendly and not all harp music is light and fluffy. The lower notes, the change in tempo--it reminds me of Gollum using the ring of invisibility. He certainly can be The Unseen--and he's not someone you want hiding behind you at all.
As I said in the review for The E-bow Mix of this song, the mix itself is worth buying as well, which I find is rarely the case with remixes--but then, all of this album is worth buying. Buy it now, and fall in love--as long as you're not bothered by the fact that not all Faerye are sweet and kind.”

"The Unseen" manages to do so especially well, reminding us that not all unseen-things are friendly and not all harp music is light and fluffy. The E-Bow mix of "The Unseen" manages to be a mix worth actually buying; so frequently I find that a remix is really not different enough from the original to be worth paying for. With Sonma at the helm, this is far from the case; the songs are similar, but the mix is unique enough to truly be nearly a new song unto itself.”

“Fantasy-related songs on the harp come with a sort of risk, from the perspective of the listener; as lovely as many are, they also have a tendency to all sound the same. Somna M. Bulist manages to avoid this; "The Golden" is truly, in fact, golden, and it brings with it a story that forms in your mind, if you allow it to do so. I'm reminded slightly of Peter and the Wolf, in how it can evoke so clearly certain images--and with the title as inspiration, they must relate as least somewhat to Somna's intent. Gorgeous, lilting at times and slower at others, I long to hear the other songs that were part of the show this was drawn from.”
