Reviews for Voxpheria !
Since the release, Voxpheria has been reviewed in several medias:
“And what might tomorrow’s sound be, if you could hear it today? Enter a wormhole as you brave Norwegian Tone Åse’s new album Voxpheria (Gigafon), a semi-dissonant duo with percussionist Thomas Stronen. Åse is an unearthly, achingly soulful singer; the two improvise with raw, symbiotic melding of electronicized human and inanimate sound in expressive ‘singularity’. Åse cracks all category orientations apart and invents new language.”
The New York City Jazz Record, (US) June 2012
“A beautiful and inventive achievement.”
In truth we wouldn´t want to do without anything on this album… because this is refreshing, new, vital music that in a unusually succesful way has taken charge of the electronics (and not the other way around)!
A new artistic breakthrough for Tone Åse
April 04/2012 by Jazznytt, Norway
“With Voxpheria, Tone Åse and Thomas Strønen have created quite an incredible piece of work. In turn spellbinding or disconcerting, accessible or challenging, it brings two incredibly talented and individual musicians. The result is, quite simply, breathtaking.
(5,9/6)
23/03/2012 by Milk Factory (UK)
“This album perfectly exemplifies that it´s possible to make new soundscapes using traditional instruments like vocals and drums.”
Trygve Lundemo, Adressa, Trondheim , Norway (5/6)
«Space Jazz» It could have been a new galaxy, but «Voxpheria» is introduced as the soundscape that´s created when the electro-acoustic improvisers Tone Åse and Thomas Strønen meet. Åse, who once co-founded Kvitretten, who is the leader in Trondheim Voices and has her own band Bol, has been an important voice in the field […]
