Laura Dawn - Musical Work

Musical Work

In 2001, Laura Dawn released her first album Believer on Extasy International, an offshoot of Japanese label Extasy Records created by X Japan drummer Yoshiki. According to Laura Dawn's MySpace profile, the label folded while she was working on her second album, which was never completed. She was the featured vocalist on Moby's platinum selling album Hotel, and she toured the world with him for nine months in 2005. Her current music project, "The Little Death", is a collaboration of original songs co-written and performed with Moby and musician/composer Daron Murphy. The music is inspired by vintage blues, film noir and 1960s psychedelic rock.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or work:

    “I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “On a huge hill,
    Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and he that will
    Reach her, about must, and about must go;
    And what the hill’s suddenness resists, win so;
    Yet strive so, that before age, death’s twilight,
    Thy Soul rest, for none can work in that night.
    To will, implies delay, therefore now do:
    Hard deeds, the body’s pains; hard knowledge too
    The mind’s endeavours reach, and mysteries
    Are like the Sun, dazzling, yet plain to all eyes.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
