RED DEER EXPRESS By Mark Weber June 3, 2009 “…Sora is clearly influenced by her surroundings, and the sights and sounds of the natural world shine through in her carefully-produced sensual music. In an increasingly hurried age, it’s a wonderful gift to have artists like Sora who are devoted to creating such soothing, well-crafted music.”

We thank very much miss Lauren Johnson for the contribution to Musica Speciale and we wish her good luck in Japan... .
