The Sussurra Luce series, blurring the boundaries between text, music and voice, returns with its third instalment. Sculpting a fascinating bridge between radically experimental sound practice, conceptual art and sound poetry, across its two sides the Berlin based multidisciplinary artist taps an almost dada sensibility, delivering a suite of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated, creating a sensory experience of the efficiency and stress found in our private as well as public life.
Addressing vocal anonymity as a spearhead of the digital economy, the record — regarded by the artist as “a compilation of poems and texts where singular words and sentences are looped and repeated creating a sensory experience of the efficiency and stress found in our private as well as public life” — taps that sensibility through its unexpected layers of meanings drawn from a maximalised approach to the potential of the human voice, creating an engrossing and challenging listen from the first sounding to the last, that continues to reveal itself and unfold with every return.
