Silver Rein is an Ithaca NY-based performing artist, whose self-titled debut album explores feelings of isolation and belonging, life and death against the landscape of an old yet familiar world.
Silver Rein performs and loops in real-time with an NS Design NXTa5 electric cello and Boss RC-600 loop station. Percussion arrangements are created with various found objects; with added effects, the beats are stored in the loop station to accompany live performance. Other song elements include original curated backing tracks, interspersed throughout.
“[Silver Rein] makes indescribably epic music, reminiscent of Dead Can Dance...not just music but an almost religious emotional experience that grabs a hold of your soul and refuses to let go for days afterwards.” - Youngiee Quennell of Ithaca's farm grrrl folk punk band, Motherwort
“Silver Rein is one of the most unique musical acts in post-pandemic Ithaca.” - Nicole Costa, local artist and DJ @Obvious Objects
“. . . a powerful woman with a presence--but none quite has all that she has . . . ” - Kate Leboff, Production Coordinator at Cornell University Press
