Vocalist Theo Bleckmann’s ethereal and instrumental approach to the voice is both ancient and modern. Layering his voice thru live looping evokes both Gregorian chants and Ambient sound clouds. He will be performing his own compositions and arrangements, with and without worlds, and those of his co-musicians.
