Voices of Venus

Sarah Dacey, Anna Snow, Lucy Goddard (vocals)

Experimental vocal trio Juice Vocal Ensemble present three new commissions for voice and electronics from three pioneering composer-vocalist-artists: Gazelle Twin, Nwando Ebezie and Olivia Louvel. The pieces draw inspiration from: the 'dark side' of Venus and its somewhat mangled folkloric and ritualistic traditions; the Haitian Vodou goddess versions of Venus and her role as fierce protectress; and textural elements of erosion and volcanic activity present on the planet, contrasting with the common imagery of Venus as an embodiment of love.
