What happens when the human voice is manipulated through electronic drone sounds? The London-based choir project NYX is experimenting with collective singing and digital production creating a unique soundscape on their self-titled debut. Nadia Says spoke to founder and musical director Sian O’Gorman about the power of the collective voice and the joy of playing with manipulation and distortion.
Songwriter and producer Woodson Black went all the way down into his own past in search of material for his anticipated debut release. NBHAP author Andreas phoned up the acclaimed dream-pop act in Massachusetts to take a deep dive into the record and its emotional background. In the end it became a little more clear how music may actually serve as a cure for pain.
