Millefleurs

Millefleurs is an extended vocal ensemble and recording project involving a large cast of experimental vocalists, including Abril Padilla, Agnès Palier, Anna Nemes, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Christoph Schiller, Dominique von Hahn, Heike Fiedler, Izumi Ise and Irina Ungureanu.

The Creative Sources recording millefleurs (CS163) was made in January and February 2009 in Therwil, Switzerland, with changing combinations of performers from piece to piece.

Through diverse voices, the project explores breath, phonetics, clusters, spoken sounds, microtonal relationships and ensemble timbres without relying on conventional song forms.
