Tracks list

Theo Bleckmanns voice is an instrument nonpareil ... (he) often uses wordless
vocals to create luminous webs of sound ... he sings airy tones that evoke
medieval chant, Bachlike chorale, Ivesian folk and minimalist drift.

Origami from Theo Bleckmann explores the unsuspected emotional and expressive
possibilities of the voice in an unfettered group context. It is a meticulously
constructed, exquisitely detailed collection of songs that ranges across
centuries, continents and musical styles for its inspiration. Origami, the
ancient Japanese art of paper folding, provides a metaphor for how the music
takes shape and enfolds the listener. Bleckmann, a singer with a three and a
half octave range, creates lush environments through overdubbing and live
electronic layering, embedding the often wordless vocals in diverse rhythms and
textures. Shifting from song to sound and from composition to improvisation, he
displays a mercurial aesthetic that encompasses (at least) jazz, folk,
minimalism, ambient, noise and free improv.
