- Ariele E Calibano, from the self-titled collection ‘Sinterra’ recorded and released by Sinterra in 2008. The name is a reference to two spirits in Shakespeare’s last play, The Tempest: Ariel is – as his name suggests – of the air, elf-like and child-like, mischievious but innocent; by contrast, Caliban is of the earth, man-like and malign, conscious but lacking conscience.
