Songs of Little Sleep
for voice and electronics, is a disturbingly engaging collection of songs on the topic of insomnia.
The voice sounds go into quite extreme ranges of extended vocal techniques.
An important element are the stereo vocals, a technique I have been working on for many years.
The electronics are based on analog synth sounds, partly chaotic and unpredictable.
Texts are included too, in the language of the country where I perform, as well as in English. Sound poetry might happen also,
along with alien intrusions (as we cannot predict our dreams).
The live performance is a loose variation on the album of the same name. The performance element makes for a strong extra dimension.
