WASSERMANN, UTE - Strange Songs

""Multiphonic trills and yodels, loops of ululations, sudden percussive outburst, warbling glissandi. Ute masks her voice with bird whistles creating a hybrid vocal persona with sculptural, oscillating, swirling tone-colours. The vocal sounds seem to be disconnected from the human voice dissolving into the sounds of birds, of machines, of electronics, of fragmented language." "Ute Wassermann's vocal practice is so unique and specialized that it seems to challenge our ability to understand it's sounds as vocal." --Aaron Cassidy, Noise in and as Music, University of Huddersfield Press, 2013 "Wassermann sings as a bird, rather than like one. And as philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari point out in A Thousand Plateaus, 'Becoming is never imitating ... The Wassermann soundworld takes form within waveflows and fluctuating particles." --Julian Cowley, Outer Limits Review, CD review radio tweet, The Wire, March 2016 (Issue 385)" - Treader .
