Description

Mouth pieces. No electronic effects or processing, no feedback, overdubs, or fades. Twenty-one acoustic oral solos, working at the outer reaches of the technical and expressive potential of human utterance, fashioned from sounds, textures, and even a few words.

Paul Dutton’s oral soundworks have placed him at the forefront of sound poetry and free improvisational soundsinging worldwide. He is renowned as a soloist, a member of the CCMC free improv band (1989-present) and of The Four Horsemen poetry performance group (1970-88).

From the liner notes:

“My exploration of the limits of human sonic expression began within a literary framework, but I gradually came to follow it just as much within the field of music, specifically free improvisation. For years, I was content to call what I did “sound poetry,” but with increased interest in such musical effects as isolated overtones and the univocal production of chords, I found myself favouring the term “soundsinging.” Truth be told, I make less and less distinction between language and music, and my work is centred on a fusion of the two. I’m chasing elusive visceral and spiritual game, and don’t have time to cavil over categories.”
-Paul Dutton
