A DISTINCTIVE sampling CD collection for the cutting-edge artist involved
with: mainstream, electronica, alternative, experimental, dance choreography,
film, theater, rap, or performance art.
This sampling collection doesn't have much in common with traditional vocal
sample CDs. You won't find cliche clips - "oohs and ahhs" or retro-syncopated
robotic voices on these discs. Although the human voice is the sound source
for each sample, the intent was to design the clips stylistically, but foremost
as uncommon expressions and instruments. Where the verbal phrases are clearly
understood they were chosen for their metaphorical/suggestive nature rather
than literal meaning. Voice Fusions explores the evocative nature of the human
voice & it's synthesis with technology.
The Voice Fusions sampling collection evolved from three notions
1) Voice Synthesizing 2) Language as music, and 3) Voice Explorations.
Voice Synthesizing this concept comes from the idea of a synthesizer with
oscillator waveforms derived entirely from the human voice. The idea was to
develop "patches" which could be created from such a synth. Just a few of
the categories which utilize this approach are: Ambient Textures, Granulation,
and Scitter Scat. Language as music in this section the words are generally
understood but the expressions are not your typical vocal sample phrases.
While some are more metaphorical, thought provoking or puzzling, others are
ordinary in an extra ordinary way. Example categories are: Statements, Poetry,
Media Mix, and Old Time. Voice Explorations - the form and shape or suggestive
nature of the sample is the focus here: new words, new phrases and rhythms
think of the likes of Cocteau Twins, Susan Dehim, scat singing from another
planet, and stylistically, Mouse on Mars or Autechre. Category examples
include: New World Phrases, Soul Sauce and Shaman Signs.
