Sasha Lazard 是一个来自俄罗斯的美声美女，一直在美国求学，专攻古典美声。而在这样一个商业社会，她和一群当今很有名气的电音大师、DJ们做了一个小小的尝试，用电子音乐来演绎古典。这些有名的DJ包括 Delerium、DJ Spooky 等，这样的阵容在电子音乐领域也算非常强大了。 Sasha Lazard 的音乐和同样是跨界美声的 Sarah Brightman 以及 Isgaard 比起来，电子的气息更浓，而 Sasha Lazard 对于古典美声的驾驭，也不输给这两位跨界天后级的人物。 by Drago Bonacich After graduating from Bennington College, Sasha Lazard started getting involved in the classical scene while attending the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. After singing opera in San Francisco and New York's circuit, producer Anthony Vanger teamed up with her to work on a revolutionary project to combine opera arias and Russian folk layered over electronic music, specially drum'n'bass. While working along with Mark Kamins and Joey Moskowitz, a different side of electronica began emerging, captivating classical followers and dance/club audiences at the same time. Sasha Lazard contributed to the Japanese animated movie Princess Mononoke with a song composed by Hayaro Miyakazi, and her version of "Ave Maria" was chosen to be part of Holy Smoke's soundtrack. In 2001, Higher Octave Music/Virgin Records signed her up. The Myth of Red became her debut album, produced by Frank Fitzpatrick and co-produced by Mark Raskin and Dale Wardlaw.
