– General Description: Helen Money is the stage name used by Alison Chesley, a Chicago-based cellist and composer. Her work employs extensive sonic manipulation and an array of plucking and bowing techniques. This album is very spare with a pervasive haunting melancholy. – FCC Compliant: YES – Recommended Tracks: 4, 5, 8, 11 – Track Reviews: 1. (4:44) Midnight - cello w/ambient atmospheres 2.
