If you like what you hear, please support the artists by purchasing the cassette or digital download. Don’t be bashful about paying extra either: Alexandra is gearing up to move to Puerto Rico, where she plans to co-found a new experimental music venue with Andy Way.

Voicehandler, the duo of Jacob Felix Heule and Danishta Rivero, is an electroacoustic ensemble combining improvisation with original compositions. They perform with voice, percussion, electronics, and the Hydrophonium (an electroacoustic percussion instrument created by Rivero). Their work, song cycle, comprises different nontraditional approaches to the song form. It explores ideas of our origins and what it means to be human, as presented in mythology and literature. Each song is based on an individual text including the Yekuana creation story, and works by Borges, Burroughs, and Hamsun. The music has been written as open scores, leaving much room for Heule and Rivero to draw on their extensive experience as improvisers. http://vimeo.com/user17911370/videos/sort:alphabetical/format:detail https://soundcloud.com/voicehandler
