Emilie Autumn is a
multi-talented singer/
violinist/
pianist. She plays a very varied sort of music, which is difficult to categorize, but it's probably somewhere between
classical and
rock. Whatever it is, her music has "
attitude". Which is mostly a good thing, although there are moments when you can't help but think she seems completely
self-obsessed. Her entire first album, entitled
Enchant, is available for free, legal
mp3 download from her website - http://www.emilieautumn.Com. There's also a
forum and a sort of biography there. The tracks are:

Epilogue -
What if
It's a cool album.
She started playing violin at a ridiculously young age and quickly became obsessed with it. In fact, by the age of 12, she was hired to play with an
orchestra. She studied and studied, and worked and worked, and by the time she was 15, she found herself accepted to one of the most prestigious conservatoires in all the land. Then she realized that, well, her new teachers were
boring and thought she was
rebellious. So, she gave up with them and started doing anything she wanted. She wrote symphonies, conducted orchestras, and of course, played violin. She wrote rock songs and sang them. And then she died her hair red, and started making the sort of music she really wanted to.
She has now set up her own record label, Traitor Records, and seems to be obsessed with
tea,
Shakespeare,
Mac computers, and most of all,
Fairies.
This is my first writeup, ever ever ever. Please be forgiving.
