The album's concept, 'Exposure,' suggests that the human voice is the most revealing medium in music, intrinsically linked to the person making the sound.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Several pieces on this album prefer an abstracted vocal sound, erasing individual subjectivity and the need for a text to 'express.'
Performer Biography
EXAUDI, the vocal ensemble on this album, was founded in 2002 by James Weeks (director) and Juliet Fraser (soprano).
Performer Biography

Interpretation
