'Altered States' is a collaboration between composer Natasha Barrett and the vocal ensemble Nordic Voices. The versions released here are immersive spatial experiences for binaural listening - reach out for your favourite headphones!
Each work expresses nature defending itself against human disturbances, finding an altered state in the rehumanisation of the acoustic and electronic voice.
'Altered States 1: Coastal Waters' hints at the connection between the warming oceans, native and invasive aquatic species.
