Biography

American avant-garde vocalist, pianist and composer from San Diego, California, known for a voice of operatic power and terrifying intensity. Her albums 'The Litanies of Satan' (1982) and the AIDS requiem 'Plague Mass' (1991), drawn from her 'Masque of the Red Death' trilogy, fuse Greek lament, blues and glossolalia, and she has recorded for #Mute Records# and collaborated with *John Paul Jones*. Gal谩s treats the voice as an instrument of ritual and protest, and remains one of the most uncompromising performers in modern music.
