Le Heron / A Reunião
by Katya Shirshkova

Le Héron is a vocal piece that takes a minimalistic approach, using only voice and a looper. Katya doesn’t work with any effect pedals on her voice; instead, she layers the voice by re-recording it multiple times. These actions create clusters of harmonics that emerge from the frequency beats between the vocal layers and form a very special sonorous texture.

The piece consists of four parts, each carrying its own symbol of a life period. These life periods referred to the images of different birds. Such way of narrative connecting us to an old archetypes from the legends and fairytales which creates a strong relation with a folk tradition, which influence could be recognised in the whole piece.

David Maranha takes over on the flip side with "A Reuniåo," delivering seven suites of powerful, minimalist drone compositions. Maranha's mastery of sustained tones and evolving harmonics creates a mesmerizing, meditative experience that is both intense and transformative.A dynamic interplay of harmonics creates a dense, immersive auditory environment, a study in sustained tones and subtle variation, leaving a lasting impression.
