Mirabilis is the neo-classical/ethereal project of Dru Allen (@This Ascension, @Mercury's Antennae) and Summer Bowman (@the Machine in the Garden). Since 2000, the two women have combined their beautiful voices to create vocally centered original compositions and reinterpret pieces ranging from mediaeval to pop music. The music is melodic and rich and borrows from classical, ethereal, darkwave, and gothic genres. They have released three full-length albums: Pleiades in 2004, Sub Rosa in 2008, and Here and the Hereafter in 2014. Each album transcends genre, ranging from cinematic, orchestral pieces, to traditional folk and chant to spoken word. The signature heavenly voices of Dru and Summer are accompanied by lush electronics and instruments including harpsichord, hammered dulcimer and recorder, transporting the listener on a sweeping, emotional journey that spans ages and cultures. Summer Bowman is half of acclaimed gothic/darkwave duo the Machine in the Garden. She has performed roles as singer, songwriter, and programmer, as well as instrumentalist playing hammered dulcimer, flute, recorder, keyboards and hand percussion. She is also active in the recording studio engineering, mixing and producing. Dru Allen is a cofounder of This Ascension, a long-standing ethereal rock group that blends tribal elements and a number of vocal styles. Most recently Dru formed the electro-shoegaze project Mercury's Antennae with musicians Erick R. Scheid and Cindy Coulter.
