about

This is an abstract vocal drone combining harmonic singing with throat singing and primal yelping. There are no pitch shifting effects - all of the sounds are generated organically using my voice and throat.

Two of my favourite artists, Björk and Camille, generated albums that were almost entirely A Capella (Medúlla, Le Fil) and I continue to be drawn to the idea of voice and body as an instrument, manipulating it in innovative ways and investigating its boundaries.
