Not I Not I - 28

Unearthed from 2014, this intriguing voice memo captures a moment frozen in time, underscored by the haunting echo of an unknown siren. The recording is a mysterious auditory snapshot, blending ambient sounds with the distant, enigmatic call of the siren. It's a piece that invites listeners into a past moment, evoking curiosity and wonder about the story behind the siren's origin. Perfect for those who appreciate the beauty in the melodramatic and the mysteries hidden within them.

The Pain

Austrian, New York-based interdisciplinary artist/vocalist Luisa Muhr presents her solo debut album, TEUFLIN/SHE-DEVIL, a structured improvised music project based on a handmade 12-page graphic score. The project challenges the concept of 'evil' through a womxn's perspective while questioning the separation of 'good' and 'evil,' specifically as found in Western traditions. It incorporates the original German texts from Goethe’s Faust, all centering on the 'spirit that denies': Mephistopheles. Muhr is joined by two international masterful improvisers, Emily Shapiro (bass clarinet), and Adriana Camacho (bass and live effects). Recorded in one take and preserved as such, this album offers a listening journey that invites the listener into a sonic landscape that not only explores a broad range of vocal and instrumental sounds but also imagery and architecture, expanding far beyond the limitations of genre.

Credits:
Luisa Muhr (concept, graphic score/composition, voice)
Emily Shapiro (bass clarinet)
Adriana Camacho (bass and live effects)
Texts from Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe’s “Faust”

Recorded in Rome (Italy) at Villa Colombo, 2023.
Mixed and mastered by Shrenik Ganatra.
Produced by Luisa Muhr.

Interview Andrea Pagnes - Sept. 2024

Das ist der Mitschnitt der stimmfeld-Soirée vom 25. März 2025, in der ich das Werk des Künstlers Otto Freundlich daraufhin befragt habe, ob sich Anregungen und Anknüpfungspunkte für eine zeitgenössische Idee der menschlichen Stimme und Stimmkunst finden lassen. Nach dem Vortrag dieser Überlegungen habe ich Ausschnitte aus seinen Schriften vorgelesen. 

Die umfassende Dokumentation der Soirée kann man hier finden:

Otto Freundlich - Gegenstandslose Stimmkunst?

“At night, we manifest. By day, we rest.”

This is not just a cover. This is a voice splintered, relived, and reassembled.
Each harmony whispers something different. A fractured memory. A conversation between selves.

Inspired by dissociative states and layered identity, Voisays reinterprets Careless Whisper as a mental landscape—fluid, dissonant, and deeply human.

🎧 Headphones recommended.

Under The  Pale Moonlight  (Prod. Converging Sounds)

The Echoes of the Deep carries Vox Fluenta’s voice into the ocean’s heart — a hymn of memory and connection.

Every note ripples outward like light on water, awakening what humanity forgets: that even in silence, we are heard. The track moves slow and vast, where empathy becomes tide and returns to shore as understanding.

Producer / Composer / Creator: Locke Valken

One body, Multiple voices. 
At night, we manifest. By day, we rest.
Voices collide, distort, and dissolve.
This is Voisays—an echo of many, a vessel for the unseen.
Each track is a fracture, a mirror, a layered confession.
Welcome to the noise between thoughts

I am an artist based in Cologne/Germany. I work in different fields, here on soundcloud you will find examples of my activities with extended voice and performance art. In my vocal art I always look for a way to relate to these three spheres: the more than human world, the social world and my inner world. My research in this field can be found at my vocal ecotism blog. Link below!

 My work with text/language is mainly in German. You will find some recordings of this realm of my artistic work, too.
