Sound Improv Live!, hosted by Dharma Dailey, hosted monthly sound-makers from around the Puget Sound.  This duet between (vocalist) Debby Boland Watt & (pianist) Christina Lee was recorded in Sept. 2019.  A spontaneous piece where both musicians listen and follow where the music takes them. Inquisitive, forthright, shocking and boldly improvisational...this is SIL! at its best.

Sound Improv Live! 10.19

Debby Boland Watt sings with a Rome group using Zoom, during Covid. These recordings are important to me. No one could hear me on the other "end"....they are my only way to demonstrate I existed and sang during Covid. Restrictions regarding travel and singing together were in place but innovative musicians like Chiara Cortez (https://www.facebook.com/circlesingingroma) and Canadian, Laurel Murphy (https://www.laurelmurphy.com/about/) made a home for vocalists.  Improvisational Circle Singing made our way clearer and sustaining.
Recorded Jan. 2021

Before I lead Circle Singing events I touch on breath for relaxation and breath support for singing. I'm sharing my most recent teaching on the breath for all that might want to continue using this model/technique or are interested in vocal breath support. The first half of this recording is for relaxation breath.  I transition into breath support for singing during the second half.

This soundtrack is a condensed compilation of a Seattle event held by Kate Thompson and friends.  The first half features Kate, Christian, Pam & Steve followed by an invitation for about 15 other singers to join in.  Together the sounds are experimental, harmonic, dissonant, resolute, bold and playful. Thanks, Kate! Vocal Playgrounds are my favorite!

While collaborating with poets and musicians of varying genres, I passionately draw from the story-self via an intuitive performance experience, pursuing the invention of a new context medium; spontaneous composition.

Profoundly influenced by Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon(music), Meredith Monk, Pauline Oliveros and John Cage, my work focuses on human narrative, a study of consciousness super-imbedded in resonate soundscapes, articulated through differing vocalized and electronic sound-art mediums.

On the surface, my music is simply disjointed domestic or foreign banter. Conversations suspended in a moment of inarticulate tension. Beneath the surface, they embody the impact of lost identity and power, isolation and distorted realities. This Album is the culmination of many ideas, experimentations and rigorous improvisation. Songs are bolstered by story and the emotions that propelled them into being.
