    Loons of Echo Pond
    As part of the mysterious spring chorus, loons and peepers of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York enchant us, as we listen to the haunting 'biophony' of this rare habitat. Once these enigmatic sounds are heard, they are never forgotten.

    African Safari: Zimbabwe
    This recording is proof that some vocal animals use their habitats as a performance hall in which to render their operas in harmony with other creatures. At the beginning, hear the baboons echo their voices off the rocks.

    Ocean Wonders

    Vonorn & Lady Sue
    Wolfsong
    Wonderfully poetic story songs & meditations of the magic & mystery of the Universe. A unique blending of vibrant, powerfully sensual vocals with brilliant handdrumming & exotic instrumention. It will transport you to other worlds of the imagination.
    Produced by Vonorn Productions, this release was composed & performed in its entirety by Sue Wolfson & Brian Van Korn (otherwise known as Vonorn & Lady Sue). One doesn't simply listen to their music-one actually joins them in experiencing the emotion of each song. This duo has performed at coffeehouses, various festivals and gatherings in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area & beyond. ****************** 'FireDance Song' This number was inspired by the magnificent fire at Starwood, and will let you dance at the bonfire in your mind's eye. ***** 'Grandmother's House' A joyful song about the circle of life and soul's departure, showing that the Crone is no one to fear. We can all learn to love her-she's simply 'Grandmother after all'! ***** 'My Mother Sang to Me' A song of one of the most everlasting bonds of all--the love between mother and child, it was written to help restore that connection and diminish the pain of personal loss. ***** 'SpiritDance' Inspired by visions & chants of the Shamans of Northwest America, it also incorporates some Wiccan elements. Let it take you to places in the mind you've never been. ***** 'The Story of Winterman & Summerwoman' This is a spoken word piece narrated by Vonorn (Brian Van Korn) and Lady Sue (Sue Wolfson) with original music by Vonorn. This newly-created Legend stresses that although Diversity exists, it can--and must--exist in peace & harmony. ***** 'Listen, Child, Listen' No matter how old we may grow, it helps to remember that we will always remain children of the Earth. This song helps to renew the connection with our first Mother. ***** 'The Cosmic Heart' Its strong beat reveals that the night has lessons for a lonely soul. ***** 'Night's Enchantment' A story of love between Faerie and Mortal, inspired by the idea that no matter how old one gets, one is always young in the arms of one's beloved. Amazingly, all the voices-including the fairy, the young man and the old man were performed by Lady Sue through the manipulative artistry of Vonorn. ***** 'The Becoming' A genuine blending of two souls, it transports the listener to otherworldly realms. ***** 'WinterSong' Breathe in the senses and emotions of a rare and magnificent winter day. Warning: This song will totally trance you out--DO NOT play it while driving! ***** 'House Blessing' This is a song which touches the desire of every person for a safe haven from the troubles of the world, where love can flourish. ***** 'When I Was a Child' Done in a style reminiscent of Appalachia and simpler times, it tells of a desire & determination to reclaim the beauty of our world for all children yet to come. ***** 'Life Is a Banquet' Vonorn & Lady Sue's signature piece, this song is medieval in flavor, upbeat, hearty & comical. When performed, it inspires enthusiastic audience interaction, promoting its unique philosophy - that Life is something to be devoured with gusto & enjoyed to its fullest!!
