elska is the narrator of cinematic lullabies and the creation of Composer Laura Boland. She represents love, imagination, resilience & awareness. Her vignettes are comprised of moments and memories that explore the human condition and our spiritual migrations in the context of our ever-changing environment. Thank you for being here.

In 2021, Laura relocated to Kansas City, MO where she now collaborates and performs with Alex Alexander. Together, they compose and perform as Elska.

Dancing Alone

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this and listen. I am happy to present Dancing Alone to you: a slow waltz through the darkest corridors of our yesterdays. Here, we excavate dusty memories and are united with our shadows to uncover a reverberating love inside our hearts’ distorted beats. Evocative orchestrations of ghostly soundscapes and nostalgic synth textures decorate this internal terrain and accompany ethereal vocal narrations that tie together the complexities and explorations of "home."

thank you
