“Adventure through the female voice, over time, this work composed as a stained glass window, uses two interpreters, a soprano and a percussionist. Alternately mythic, familiar, sophisticated or prophetic, the voice of the oracle seems to emerge from the mists of time, the streets of a metropolis at night, or a wild rain forest. The vocal part ranges from tenderness to sarcasm, shouts or whisperes, the fury of singing blossoms into a contrapuntal structure. The Percussion and voice exchange timbers to blend with the torrent of a magnetic tape. Here the fire blends with the percussion and the cries, grows and dies in a landscape of ashes just before a final sustained note where the voice of a star survives. “(Maurice Ohana)<\/p>\n
