"One of the country's finest Composer / Performers of meditational space music"
- High Performance Review


An internationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, award winning performing and recording artist, Constance Demby has been hailed as the 21st century’s Mozart / Bach / Beethoven, a tall order for anyone to be associated with, but in Constance’s case one founded on the most extraordinary musical and creative talent that is testimony to her prolific output and the profound healing both listeners and participants experience, alongside critical acclaim that has followed her every step of progress in a career spanning decades.


 BIO - As a recording artist and pioneer in her field, Constance Demby is an internationally acclaimed innovator of sound creations; sounds you'd swear you never heard before. Yet, somewhere in some dim memory, there is a faint memory echo - rich and compelling - calling up archetypal experiences which access the deeper, more profound levels of the mind-body-spirit. One critic described the experience as, " Constance weaves a symphonic journey that is essentially a transmission from above, yet connects from the inside out - almost like you lose your feet but gain your soul. As the tones are transmitted, a dimensional shift occurs, allowing listeners to open, release and merge into states of expanded consciousness."

In live concert, Constance presents a range of sonic environments, accompanied by her penetrating voice: the cosmic-electronic symphonic orchestra performed on digital sampling synthesizers; the wooden hammer dulcimer with over 100 strings; and the Sonic Steel Space Bass, a ten foot sheet of steel that produces deep, primoridal, resonant sounds. An original design, her Sonic Steel Instruments have been recorded by Lucas Skywalker Studios for use in their filmscores, and also filmed by Discovery Channel at Gaudi's Parc Guell for inclusion in a special entitled "The Power of Music."

 
 A classically trained artist performing since the age of 12, Demby's music has been compared by critics to Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Brahms, Palestrina, Rachmaninoff, Wagner, Puccini, Debussy, Ravel, Copland, Mahler, and Vivaldi. Her focus has included sculpture & painting, with one-woman shows in Greenwhich Village. Music, myth, art, and spirit merged in her SPACE MASS, a spectacular multi-media production combining painting, film, massive environmental sculptures, music, dance and ritual. .She is composer, performer, multi-instrumentalist, painter, sculptor, instrument designer, multi-media producer, and healer for our times. 

Dedicated to exploring the healing power of sound and it's ability to alter consciousness, Constance has received countless letters from those who, because of her music, experienced a major healing, a life shift, or even decided not to commit suicide. Healers and therapists use the albums in sessions to deepen and facilitate their work.

 "Music is a realm of consciousness the listener enters by traveling on a beam of sound. The more authentically the composer is connected to Source when they open up to receive the music, the purer the tones, and the more potent the effect upon the listener. For one can only go as far and as deep as the composer went when receiving the music." -
