FROM EQLATERAL (eqlateral.com): susan (aka vox vespertinus) is an incredible operatic vocalist with an uncanny ability to improvise velvety vocal lines over our string and electro ambient soundscapes. .

FROM ASIAN AMERICAN PRESS (http://www.aapress.com) --review of Levi Chen's album Devocean... One of the highlights of the album is “Sound and Recent Sorrow…” Levi’s memorial to the victims of recent natural disasters (the S.A.R.S. epidemic, Indian Ocean tsunami and Katrina). The track include the hauntingly beautiful voice of guest vocalist Susan Dumett, of Vox Vespertinus, who Levi met while performing at the Temple of Joy at Burning Man 2005. Arguably the first ever “Asian-American Blues,” it is a juxtaposition of Chinese Harp and Violin (Gu Zheng and Erhu), jazz piano, searing guitar and operatic vocals.

FROM the ORACLE GATHERINGS (oraclegatherings.com) the voice of an oracle singing the world into being... vox vespertinus emanates the highest vision of an angelic presence, activating deep cellular awakening by a gorgeous operatic voice with presence like a comforting, warm cup of tea... guiding the inner map of consciousness with melody that sends shivers up the spine.

FROM STARVOX MAGAZINE: susan dumett's vocals are simply amazing; powerful yet tempered with a fluid grace.

FROM SOME LOVELY FANS, thank you!

“It’s hard to believe sometimes that your sound is born of a human mouth.”

"Your voice makes me cry (in a really good way)."

“Remember that blue singing diva creature in the film the Fifth Element? That’s what your voices remind me of.”

SONIC AREA





Jul 20 2008 9:56 PM

TEASER dailymotion :
http://www. dailymotion. com/sonoftooth/video/x2ycxk_sonic-area-teaser-explore_music


With “Explore”, SONIC AREA takes the listener on a disturbing and involving exploratory journey to the dark corners into an epic complex cinematographic phantasmagoria of the human psyche. A personal organic dusty warm sound remote island universe made of sampling, cutting, audio manipulation and collages of masterfully chosen and assembled loops, permeated by haunting noises, minimal melodies and impacting ethnic percussion. Everything sounds as if it has been compressed, distorted, dipped in acid and scratched with sandpaper but with particular attention to all frequencies of the audio spectrum. In this mysterious whole, between electronica and industrial, things are not quite what they seem. Lost in details, the listener is not sure anymore of what is actually really hearing. Therefore it’s only for the musically mind adventurous…

Imagine yourself sleeping in a lost factory built over sacred Indian burial grounds.

1-que les larmes me viennent (featuring SCALPER)
2-vertigineuse evidence (featuring TEN DATA KESHIN)
3-les liqueurs inconnues
4-les caresses de serpents
5-les sublimes subtilités des tresors de ton corps
6-le silence me terrifie
7-la chute ascensionnelle
8-la petite mort
9-il ne faut pas avoir peur
10-les morsures d'octobre
11-vous etes le bruit
