Artist Bio
Constance Demby was one of the founding figures of New Age music in the 1980s with her masterpiece Novus Magnificat. Her subsequent compositions have been used in planetariums and films, new age centers and compilations. Spirit Trance was released in 2004, three years after her best selling Sanctum Sanctuorum. The album continues her intensely melodic style of symphonic spacemusic, and includes songs from the soundtracks of two films: "James Dean - An American Legend" and "I Am."

An irrepressible personality with an infectious joie de vivre, Constance Demby is also a sincere spiritual seeker. A fifth generation Californian born in Oakland, Demby began classical piano studies at the age of 8. At 12 she moved to Connecticut where her artistic studies also included painting and sculpture.

Throughout the 1970s, she gave concerts, workshops, and visual/musical presentations all over the eastern seaboard. During this period, she began to develop new forms of contemplative classical music. By the end of the decade, she had established her own label and released her first albums of meditative and sacred space music (Skies Above Skies and Sunborne).

Demby's music blossomed when she returned permanently to northern California in 1980 and began experimenting with electronic instruments. Two years later, she released Sacred Space Music Vol. 1, an enduring album featuring hammered dulcimer, acoustic piano, and synthesizer (rereleased in 1988).

Soon after the arrival of digital sampling keyboards, Demby integrated symphonic instrumental sounds into her music and began recording in her own 16-track studio. There she produced Novus Magnificat (1986). Her 1989 release Set Free added rhythms and influences from Bali and Africa to her contemporary classical base and was hailed as a "first-rate release by an artist in her prime." Several international tours followed, to Europe, South America, the Canary Islands, Japan, Indonesia and beyond.

With the help of Jim Miller of Stratus Sounds, Demby updated her entire studio in the early 1990s, replacing many of her early synthesizers with an impressive array of the latest electronic instruments and recording technology.

Says Demby, "On Aeterna I've gone deeper into the source of my sound and come back with melodies that pick up where Novus left off."
