Ruth Wilhelmine Meyer – One Voices
What expressive colors can be modeled with the voice? The Norwegian Ruth Wilhelmine Meyer shows it in a subtle way. On One Voices (Simax), the poet of solo singing leads us into emotional depths. Using fantasy language, percussive approaches and meditative melodies, she creates an auratic soul music of great density. You could call it an opera without words, inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Styles between classical, avant-garde and folklore are never an end in themselves. They are authentic expression, located in the intermediate realm between dream and reality.
