Anne K. O’Neill, accomplished on many instruments, weaves a dark, wide-screen folk tapestry with Serpentent. Deftly combining a classical sensibility with elements of European folk traditions, Serpentent makes emotionally powerful, resonant and deeply textured music. Serpentent’s debut album, Ancient Tomes, Volume 1: Mother of Light, brings all those forces together in a collection of songs unified in their compelling quality that defies easy categorization. Cinematic in scope and breathtaking in intensity, the finely crafted Serpentent makes transcendent music that explores the mysteries of life.
