Extended Voices

various artists compilation - Extended Voices

New pieces for chorus and voices altered electronically by sound synthesizers and vocoder.

Performed by The Brandeis University Chamber Chorus; Alvin Lucier, director

EXTENDED VOICES is an apt title for this album, for the simple reason that all of the works here either extend the human voice physically or enlarge the performance situation of choral music.
