Stunningly unusual vocal music from composer, music researcher and vocalist based in Montreal, Gabriel Dharmoo, collecting works from 2012 to 2019, performed with small and large ensembles using almost completely wordless voice, utterance, guttural sound, swoops and, melodic flights, augmented with physical percussion like stamping and clamping; brilliant and enthralling.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2020 Country: Canada Packaging: Cardboard Gatefold Recorded at Studio Bande a part by Nataq Huault, Stufio Makina by Blaise Borboen-Leonard, Studio Jean-Francois Blouin by Jean-Francois Blouin.
"The first album of the composer and vocalist Gabriel Dharmoo challenges, by the questions it raises, confusing reality in origins with deceptive roots. All in voice, Some Fictions invents its own language, with onomatopoeias and breaths, guttural sound effects and melodic flights, playfulness and culture. We are constantly swinging on geographies with familiarity yet unknown, drawing skillfully from tribal or liturgical hymns with unknown origins, inventions full of mischief and fuzzy connections. The avant-garde is diluted in a comedia dell'arte full of life and humor, unexpected and surprise. Brilliant."-Roland Torres, silenceandsound.me (translated by Google)
