Kusa Hibari

 

Kusa Hibari

"But he sings the song of his race as it was sung a myriad years ago, and as faultlessly as if he understood the exact significance of every note. Of course he did not learn the song. It is a song of organic memory - deep, dim memory of other quintillions of lives, when the ghost of him shrilled at night from the dewy grasses of the hills."

- From Kusa Hibari by Lafcadio Hearn

She took Piano, Theory, and some Electronic Music courses during her brief stint in college and loves anything related to Technology. Over the past couple of years, she's began recording her songs and created Allegory Palette in 2006. Music has always been a creative outlet for her in one shape or another.

She recently revamped her website and registered NyghtowllMusic.com as an official domain. Her partner in crime Elimtevir has been helping her with the graphics as well as revamp some of her older songs. There's still some work that needs to be done which includes embedding a Music Player into the site, adding some Watermarks to the pages, and establishing a RSS Feed that Readers can subscribe to for site content.

In the default world, she shares her time with best friend/husband  Elimtevir, a large furry feline named Momma Opal and a plethora of friends who make her life entertaining. Her paycheck comes from working as a Software Professional which fund her travel and art. She also enjoys spending every year in Black Rock City.
