about

Songs of Little Sleep is, I think, a disturbingly engaging collection of songs on the topic of insomnia.
Here the electronics are, for a large part, analog, with a variety of devices being used in an often improvisatory way. The voice sounds go into quite extreme ranges of extended vocal techniques. They are not manipulated electronically.
There are two homages to experimental poets that inspired me: Raoul Hausmann and the Québécois Claude Gauvreau.
