"Light and Weirdness" (2018 - Masked Dead Records) is the second album made by The Voices. After a strange and original debut, The Voices is ready to deliver some new music full of that characteristic that made this project (in)famous: weirdness.
The formula of this one-man project is the same: making music using only voice and without vocal effects (other than reverb, mixing and mastering... obviously!), breaking all limits and rules - and perhaps even decency - creating this Experimental Avant-Garde A Cappella.
In this second album there's more variety and rhythm, a lot of vocal styles and techniques (even very exotic ones) mixed with irony and creativity. The "instrumental" intro (made with voices) is just one of the many provocations of this album; here you can find ethnic music (from all the continents!), extreme metal, rock, techno, hip-hop, spoken, ambient, space, jazz, classical music and other ones, mixed in unpredictable ways. This album is about the light that can be found in our life, in our world, even in our universe: light can blind you or can show you the way. Light and Weirdness is a torch spreading light in a room full of oddities that will make your day... an album about light, to be taken lightly! This album is technique, irony and fun; an unusual way to discover all the things you can make with voice (if only you wouldn't be ashamed!). Hate it of love it!
This was made with invaluable guests: Matteo Antonelli screaming in Ashen Clouds (a mix of black metal and epic/gregorian music) and Alien Galaxies (basso profondo vocals on classical/space-ambient atmospheres); Ramona Gallizzi soprano in The Rays of the Sun (weird choral music with gospel, blues and oriental influences); Rugeria Gallizzi soprano in Under the Rays of the Moon (middle-eastern and tribal, with some jazz and ambient) and Lucia Valensisi contralto in Dies Reversurus (mostly classical oriented music, with gregorian parts and a folk end).
