I Come From Sexta
First vocal album from Camille D’Arc. Camille is an artist and poet. Whether poetry or music, it doesn't really matter—this is a sonic unity that speaks for itself. I Come From Sexta is the slowly crystallized fruit of a myriad of Camille’s voices, captured during moments of meditation and retreats she moves through as thresholds of consciousness, where she channels languages she receives and transmits in a langage she calls DXDA.
There is no written poetry here, but rather a composition of a…
