Album Notes & Community Reviews
Rooted in the composer's philosophy of 'Deep Listening,' 'Accordion & Voice' relies solely on pure acoustic resonances and just intonation tuning. The improvisational pieces blur the lines between the human vocal cords and the sustained breath of the accordion, creating an immersive, trancelike environment highly influential to subsequent avant-garde and ambient movements.
