“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 lyrics comprised of Penton’s original poetry.”
I’m a vocalist, writer of songs, creator of recordings, and a music video filmmaker.
My music is a blend of art song, avant-spoken word, and chamber electronica—you will hear the rise and fall of my many layered voices, and the swirling guitars and electronic sound worlds created by me and my collaborators. I draw inspiration from mythology and fairytale, sacred literature, dreams and dreamworlds, and from the cycle of the seasons. I invent and perform solo and collaborative dramatic new music works, and my projects blossom in many forms: live performances, audio and video works, site specific and installation pieces, visual art, and writings.

Music to Celebrate the Solstice Season & the Longest Nights of the Year
EARTHSHINE is a music video from Misha for the Winter Solstice
“Misha Penton´s ‘Earthshine’ brings a haunting sonic atmosphere and a reflective journey through time and nature. The meditative, cyclical lyrics, inspired by ancient prayer traditions, prompt contemplation on our existence and the imperative to treat each other and the Earth with greater care. Her mystical interpretation gives a theatrical-like halo that enchants with every note.”
