The composition is inspired by the "Voynich manuscript," often referred to as one of the world's most mysterious books. Created around the 15th or 16th century, it is a still undeciphered "text" approximately 213 pages long, accompanied by strange diagrams and illustrations. The manuscript gained wider recognition in the last century when it was accidentally discovered in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome by a book dealer named Wilfrid M. Voynich, after whom the work is named. Many cryptographers, codebreakers, and linguists have attempted to decipher the Voynich manuscript, but the incomprehensible cipher, along with the peculiar illustrations of plants, symbols, and people, remains unexplained. As of now, it is not known whether the textual part of the Voynich manuscript encodes an unknown language or consists of a series of visual signs. Research is still ongoing, and the text is currently held by Yale University. To reflect the strange nature of this story, the language heard in the composition is invented by the composer.

Descriptif de la série // Le podcast Créatrices, produit par le magazine féministe belge axelle, est un voyage sensible et passionné dans l’univers de femmes artistes contemporaines. Car les femmes qui créent sont dans la place : elles écrivent, elles peignent, elles composent, elles tournent. Alors écoutons leur histoire. Partageons leurs émotions. Et émerveillons-nous de leur talent. 

Descriptif de l’épisode // Camille Bordet, la voix libre 
La musique est au cœur de la vie de Camille Bordet. Jeune chanteuse lyrique mezzo-soprano, au timbre de voix rond et chaud, elle repousse sans cesse "les limites de sa pratique vocale". Elle a cette curiosité du monde et des autres qui la mène sur des chemins de traverse étonnants. De l’Arménie où elle séjourne quelques mois à l’Iran au fil d'une rencontre amoureuse avec la langue et la poésie persanes. 
Dans cet épisode de Créatrices, elle évoque la technique lyrique qui met tout le corps en vibration et agit comme un antidépresseur au service de l’émotion. Interpréter ne suffit pas pour Camille ; elle met en perspective les contextes historiques et les réalités d’aujourd’hui pour incarner ces héroïnes d’opéra aux destins souvent tragiques.
"On est obligé d’être à l’écoute de la société. C’est tout l’enjeu de l’opéra, de la musique classique, sortir de l’image d’un art poussiéreux réservé à des gens très riches." Mais aussi de remettre au centre les femmes compositrices gommées d’une histoire écrite par les hommes… 

Créatrices est un podcast produit par axelle magazine et réalisé, monté et mixé par Corinne Ricuort. La musique du générique a été composée par Marielle Vancamp. L’illustration de la série est signée Candela Sierra.

Camille Bordet, la voix libre

Trashy, hilarious, and unapologetically raunchy, "Kevin McGee Gave Me HPV" delivers 90s honky-tonk grit with a punk rock twist. This high-energy anthem mixes dirty blues with sharp, satirical lyrics that’ll have you laughing and cringing all at once. Mezzo-soprano vocals, distorted guitars, and a raucous fiddle lay the groundwork for a cautionary tale of heartbreak—and an unforgettable medical souvenir.

I'm just a songwriter, standing in front of a computer, asking it to sing my heart out. Welcome to my world where I weave words into lyrics and let AI bring them to life.

🌟 **Join Me on This Musical Journey!** 🌟  
I'm open to collaboration, just reach out via e-mail. I create all my music. I write it, mix it, run it through several systems, and if the voice isn't mine, it's created by me and trained. I have taught myself how to mix through audacity, and soundtrap, etc and still learning. I have been coding since I was 11 years old, writing since about 5 years old, telling stories since I was two and singing since I was 4. I can sight read, read and badly notate music, and play the piano. I'm teaching myself how to play the drums right now. 

In the next few weeks I’ll be reworking SoundCloud. Enjoy the songs. I’ll be slowing down the music process to 1 song to 2 songs per week now. I will start to transition the current songs to other platforms for easier listening. If anyone has favs they want available earlier, let me know. Enjoy!

Listen to my music. 
I'm a traveler of Worlds. 
Creator of realms, and storyteller at heart. 

Never stop dreaming, never stop laughing, and never stop listening. 
Always do your own research. 

I stand for unity and chilling out with as many people with like-minded vibes as I can.  

In my free time I like to hang out in my mind and create stories about other Worlds, mainly involving complicated time travel nonlinear plots. Wanna know my story? 
Just ask me? 


My songs are my journal, and an open music lab experiment. I need to make music to not be depressed and go into dark, dark places. It's like water for me. 

Feel free to share here, but if you use it for nefarious purposes, well I believe in karma . Peace out, and see you soon. 

Enjoy and never forget, question everything!

Anna is a Latvian composer working in the areas of chamber music, opera, music for choir, instrumental solo pieces and electroacoustic musi. Fascinated by the most intricate properties of sound, she approaches it as a live organism that embodies a musical form in itself. Her work is often created in close collaboration with musicians, exploring the finest timbral, textural and technical possibilities of each instrument that eventually lead to meticulously designed sonoric architectures. Inspired by the mysteries of nature, she steps with it into a conversation through her music, colliding disciplined rationality and scientific research with feminine intuition and sensitive plasticity.
In 2019 her Tree Opera. Windthrow for eight voices, chamber ensemble and electronic track was premiered in Finland by the Grammy Award winning Latvia Radio Choir, chamber ensemble and Swedish Paetzold contrabass recorder player Anna Petrini. Anna is currently working on a composition for symphonic orchestra and large choir Carmen Sibyllae (Song of the Sibyl), based on Virgil’s 4th Eclogue, anticipated premiere in 2021.
