Saskia was born into a musical family and grew up through a world of folk. She has toured extensively across the UK performing hundreds of solo acoustic gigs and was classically trained on guitar and flute from a young age.
‘Power of Three’, released by Erpsongs label, is a myriad of sonic blasts, soaring vocals and angel choirs, accompanied by powerful basslines and “to the skies” guitars, nestled in a bed of multilayered synthesis. The EP features members from the early days of Ozric Tentacles, including the founder Ed Wynne with a guitar solo of epic scope, Tom Brooks making EMS Synthi bubbles and percussion from Paul Hankin. Together they enter unknown musical territory by fusing aspects of electronic music, folk, space rock, ethnic, psychedelic and traces of metal, the result is something distinctly their own.
