Album Description
Voices, sometimes lovely and mysterious, other times emotional and powerful. 50 Soundmakers, guided by Christine Duncan’s cues, improvise sounds, texts, rhythms, emotions and create soundscapes to the songs and improvisations of singer Ineke Vandoorn and guitarist Marc van Vugt. Nothing is predetermined, so the music truly arises in the moment. The Soundmakers are not a traditional singing choir but consists of people who not necessarily identify themselves as singers, but want to use their voice and enjoy making sounds. “During our Canadian tours, we saw Christine Duncan at work with her Element Choir and got really excited. Not only did the result sound fantastic, but we realized that her way of working with an improvising choir in combination with our original compositions, would allow us to create a new context for our music. In January 2024 we invited Christine Duncan for the Soundmakers Project in which we combined our music with soundscapes created by a group of Dutch Soundmakers led by Christine. The project was performed with 3 different groups of Soundmakers in Houten, Arnhem and Den Bosch. The final concert in Houten, in which 50 Soundmakers participated, was recorded live for video and an audio.” The Soundmakers Project is an initiative of Dutch Grammy winners Ineke Vandoorn and Marc van Vugt. They are known for their adventurous and lyrical music and travel the world with it. Vocal improvisor Christine Duncan is the founder of the Element Choir, the world’s leading vocal improvisation group from Toronto, Canada.
