Description
After years of experimenting with electronic vocal effects to extend the capabilities of the voice, composer Alex Dowling has released his debut album, 'Reality Rounds', on Carrier Records. Written for 'AutoTune choir', the work was performed live by four singers and features a stunning array of sounds from rapid flickering textures to unusual tunings that would be impossible for a normal choir to sing. Dowling deftly combines the voice with electronics creating hybrid timbres that traverse the liminal space between organic and synthetic.
Influenced by the writings of Yuval Noah Harari, 'Reality Rounds' is a future ritual of 'Dataism', a new religion that worships the eternal flow of data. A fascinating cross between Stockhausen's 'Stimmung', an electro-futuristic Meredith Monk, and a digitally rendered Roomful of Teeth, this album attains a rare feat ' the creation of truly live, human, electronic music.
