about

A Voice (I) is the first of what would became an entire body of work created using only my voice. While I did not set out to create music in this way, the concept became a sonic parallel to both the personal and artistic voice that I would discover over the duration of the project.

The voice concept manifested organically while exploring new ways of designing sounds from different sources of audio. Both A Voice I and II grew from the same initial piece, and for each eventually distinct work, they felt to me to have almost created themselves.

Of what became six tracks created in this style for the album, (I) is the most minimal arrangement, allowing the imperfections of the voice to shine though, emoting a raw, vulnerable feeling. In this way, A Voice (I) establishes the intimate, human thread underlying the entire 1.5 hour concept album.

Common across all of my work, I channel emotion into my music. This project came out of a particularly challenging experience, and it felt cathartic to come back to it over the time that it was being created. I feel as though music can act as a vessel to capture and relay emotion to the audience — hopefully being a meaningful experience for both the artist and the listener alike.

I hope this piece might move you as much as it helped me.

Thank you.
