solo a cappella explorations of old old songs within me

When I started practicing the traditional style of singing known in the villages of many localities, I began with many questions. The more I practiced, the fewer questions I had. I could feel that my body knows these songs, and that embodied knowledge became a guidance. As the silence was, what I felt, a complex heritage from previous generations, I earned a strong determination to work with my voice and to carry the voices of these songs further. It’s a practice of presence, that allows sounds to move freely through my body, letting my body to be sung.
