--Experimental Electronic and Aesthetic, Granular Synthesis and Voice. The inspiration starts from the Gregorian melisma, then Flemish Polyphony, then Madrigals by Monteverdi, then with a leap I get to experiments on magnetic tape by Luciano Berio and Cathy Berberian (1958 omaggio a Joyce), and then Luigi Nono. Here are my sources. I elaborated the voice and interpretation of Vanessa Tagliabue Yorke, her phrases, her singing, I reconstructed the material in aesthetic form. The result is beyond my expectations. The aesthetic beauty is absolute. The transcendent reality often arrive to us. We must accept it and act as intermediary.
--Elettronica Sperimentale ed Estetica, Syntesi Granulare e Voce. L'ispirazione comincia dai melismi del Gregoriano, poi la Polifonia Fiamminga, poi i Madrigali di Monteverdi, poi con un balzo arrivo alle sperimentazioni su nastro magnetico di Luciano Berio e Cathy Berberian (1958, omaggio a Joyce), e poi Luigi Nono. Queste le fonti. Ho elaborato la voce e l'interpretazione di Vanessa Tagliabue Yorke, le sue frasi, il suo canto, ho ricomposto la tavolozza. Il risultato è oltre le mie aspettative. La bellezza estetica è assoluta. La realtà trascendente spesso arriva a noi. Dobbiamo accettarla e fare da tramite.

Selina Martin has released four incredible recordings to date, most recently "Caruso's Brain".  With a background in theatre and music, her community spans far and wide.  Selina never stops searching for the next great song or project, now based out of France.  We caught up in a Toronto parkette, and hammered through several important tactics....ENJOY!

EP. 37 - SELINA MARTIN

Raised on a small farm in Canada, now living in France, extraordinarily acclaimed genre-defying songwriter and vocalist Selina Martin is like a siren from an undiscovered sea. She pushes the boundaries of pop, rock, singer/songwriter, punk and experimental music into adventurous and exhilarating new territory, creating something that is wholly original.

Martin’s 4th and latest album, i’ve been picking caruso’s brain; i think i have the information we need to make a new world (or …caruso’s brain… for short), was first released in Europe and then in Canada to ecstatic reviews that made comparisons to Bjork, PJ Harvey, CocoRosie, and Talking Heads.  NBT Music Radio in Koln, Germany named it #1 Album of the Year and Starship Overflow Radio in the UK called it “Brilliant …  Superb in every sense of the word”.
