who

is the

mistress of sound?

Hi! My name is Madeline Leigh and I’m based out of Portland Oregon.

Much of my creative inspiration springs from the natural world—the sound of a river, the rustling of leaves, or the simple purity of a bird's song. These moments stir something in me that words often fail to capture. Music becomes the language through which I make sense of the ineffable. I weave field recordings from nature with electronic textures crafted in my studio, creating immersive soundscapes that are both grounding and expansive.

            The intention behind my work is to offer listeners a chance to slow down, reconnect with their breath, and drop into presence. In a world that constantly demands doing, striving, and accelerating, I strive to create sonic experiences that invite stillness, introspection, and restoration.

            This journey into sound healing began during a period of deep personal burnout, exhaustion, and depression—a time that made it impossible to continue living the way I had. The turning point came when I purchased my first set of crystal singing bowls. I had experienced their resonance during a sound bath and was struck by how deeply grounded and uplifted I felt. I didn’t realize it then, but that moment quietly redirected the course of my life.

            For over 25 years, I’ve worked in the healing arts and sciences—first as a massage therapist, which led me into nursing, and now helping people through sound. My art is an extension of this path: an offering rooted in healing, spirituality, and the mystery of existence. It continues to evolve alongside me, a reflection of my own unfolding and the sacredness I find in the journey itself.
