Human
"A splendid collaboration between experimental vocalist Maggie Nicols and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Phil Hargreaves. Human is a work in eight movements through which runs Hargreaves’ title poem. A long and delicate collage of vocal interventions, acoustic improvisations, field recordings, and electronic textures.

*150 copies limited edition* The scheme is simple and decisive: a similar electronic device for an instrument played at each soliloquy for direct, introspective music, according to my psychic states.

The bass guitar speaks alone twice on the S side, and that's that. Speech is banished. "Quatre soliloques" without voice or words: the title may see…
