Extended Voices - New Pieces For Chorus & For Voices Altered Electronically / Lucier

Extended sound is the best title of this album, for the simple reason that all the works here physically expand vocals or expand the performance of chorus music.

The singer performed improvisation in a wide area of ​​high, medium and low, and was asked to produce various sounds such as whisper, snore, lipstick, finger snap.
