ok we spoke Angela I and the bassist, perhaps a cello wld. be good
for the second piece, with her voice pre-recorded with singing, yes
singing vocals. what a piece of imagination it is. did this ages
ago with Nietzsche's Daughter and David with K.K. overdubbed in
the Live Recording Performance of 1991_time! my god!
I remember not being as comfortable with
Pat's version of the Sappho voice as much as Angela's
and so having Angela back is good, her voice is richer,
and carries the sound of a woman letting go 'better'
meaning she does not get that hysterical feel in
vocality. angela lets go cooler. richer, meaning
with lower registers in the voice yet the
letting go as she reaches the high points of
the piece, ie. "Orpheus on the Sidewalk"
suits it perfectly. Its that Irish Canadian
voice thats become modified by her acting
experience and her strictly Canadian
sense of voice, but it's more particular
than that, as each woman's voice, is unique,
instressed even as Hopkins might have said.
The instress of her voice compasses
the Irish and the spoken English Canadian
of someone who lived in England and acted
there for longer than she ever lived in Ireland .
Combine it all with say, the cosmopolitan & deliecious
accents of __ and one has,a well wedded voice
and(take a breath readers)
as once upon a time before, it fits
the material perfectly.

Hard to explain? no not really ; accompanied by the gestures
we both make as we recite its perfect or going to be
very interesting, Doctor. a cure for all miseres,
miseries. if we can get Pat to come in for two or
three pieces it would be a combindation
that rounds out things nicely. But rounding is not
that important, indeed it may be that rounding
out is depasse for this project. I am thinking
I might lift earlier recordings of her voice
and lay them down again and remix them with some
of the newer songs and see what comes of it.
What images of voice and word evoke bodies of mystery?
