About

Natalia Krause is a singer and mindfulness teacher, creative force behind This Lunar Mansion, an online artist who loves variety. In her music, she combines experimental pop-rock with jazz and classical elements, which are deeply rooted in the feeling of unity with everything, looking for a cultural connection and emotional expression.

Her musical inspirations are artists like Sting, Marillion, Tori Amos, Sade, Kasia Nosowska, Kasia Kowalska, and instrumental music by Joe Satriani and Ryan Farish, just to name a few.
Artistic inspirations come from the multi-cultural city of Galway, on the Atlantic Ocean.
This is where Natalia spends a lot of time meditating, creating melodies and
just letting the present moment show itself as it is.

Most of the lyrics are poetry written by the widely published, award winning Irish poet Ciarán Parkes. While the deeply reflective Polish lyrics have been written by Andrzej Silski, a talented poet from Poznań.

Many gifted people participated in the implementation of this project, the first of them was
a drummer Akirson-Marcin Ostarz, who helped to put together the first demo of the songs and became a co-composer.

All tracks are recorded in the Origin studio in Dublin run by Terry Merrick, producer,
who is the main musician responsible not only for the recording but also for the mix and mastering of the sound.
What counts for us is the space in music and, as Terry usually says, the sounds 'of the wall' that enrich the songs as much as possible to maintain space and balance throughout the whole composition.

Terry is a creative multi-instrumentalist and producer, who helps to combine all these elements into professionally recorded music and encouraged me to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional artist.
Cooperation with Andrzej resulted in the fact that the album will be released in English and Polish.
The premiere of the album will take place in 2023 and soon the first singles in Polish & English will appear.
