“EARTHSHINE conjures the subtle illuminating energies of beautiful things unseen or unnoticed.”
EARTHSHINE celebrates the winter solstice season, the longest nights of the year. This dark and introspective time is a pause before the lengthening days bring us toward summer. I love the idea of going inward and engaging with stillness before the beginning of a new cycle. Earthshine is the dim glow on the darkened part of a crescent moon — the reflected sunlight from Earth shining on the night side of the moon.

Misha Penton is a singer, composer, director, writer, and filmmaker. Her music is a blend of futuristic art song and chamber electronica; her lyrics evoke dreamworlds where poetry comes alive in the movement of language through the voice and body. From a delicate spider-silk tone thread to shimmering and cascading wails, you will hear the rise and fall of her many-layered voices woven into swirling electronic sound worlds—blending art song, avant-spoken word, and chamber electronica.

Project Notes
The lyrics for “Earthshine” are single words that cycle like the day and seasons: “dawn / day / dusk / dark…earthshine / earth spin…dark / light.” The lyrics are inspired by the medieval Liturgy of the Hours or Book of Hours: the sequence of prayers throughout the day in monastic life. The simplicity and starkness of the words is a reminder that we’re on this extraordinary planet, spinning and speeding through the galaxy…we’re all here for barely a blink of an eye. Can we treat each other and the Earth better?
I created “Earthshine” to honor the cycle of the seasons. I often work creatively with the wheel of the year: the solstices, equinoxes, and moon phases. Noticing these cycles taps into the ebb and flow of natural energies. I sometimes feel caught up in our fast-paced and chaotic digital world. Observing the waxing and waning of the moon or remembering the tilt of the earth and the changing angle of the sun feels grounding.
“The music is a multi-layered composition of voices that build, break down, and build up again to create an unpredictable, yet beautiful secession of harmonies, with mysterious, almost arcane lyrics comprised of Penton’s original poetry.”
“Misha is fearless in exploring the boundaries of genre and performance”
