Electronic Prayers, by Aurora Desmond 01/10/2026

I have a new album under my own name exclusively on bandcamp. I recorded it about five years ago have a new album under my own name exclusively on bandcamp. I recorded it about five years ago but I decided to shelve it. I only recently rediscovered it after completely forgetting about it. It’s meditative ambient electronic music in the vein of Tangerine Dream and other Berlin school/kosmische music designed to slowly pull you into its evolving, hypnotic soundscapes. Shabbat Shalom!

Between Two Worlds: A Theatrical Song Cycle and Closet Drama 11/07/2025

I’m thrilled to share that my closet drama (a play meant to be read), created as a companion piece to my album Between Two Worlds, is finally available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever you purchase books.

This work delves into the hidden spaces of love, loss, and self-discovery. It is meant to be experienced alongside the album, reflecting the intensity and emotion of the music while exploring the liminal spaces between shadow and light, chaos and beauty. Each page is a performance, each word a note—together forming a theatrical art piece in dialogue with the album that inspired it.

As a lifelong lover of theatre, writing a play has been a long-held dream of mine. This closet drama brings that dream to life, blending my musical and theatrical worlds into one singular, immersive work of art. I invite you to experience it alongside the album, and step into the world where music and theatre intertwine.

I’m so excited to share this. I’ll be performing live at the next titled I’M SCARED at Magma, Gloucester, MA

This will be my first time singing on stage in almost 8 years. Music has carried me through so much, and returning to the stage feels a little terrifying, but mostly exhilarating.🦇
