BACKGROUND
Three gradually accelerating tracks from three very different genres that illustrate the infinite possibilities thrown up by combining (mainly) voices and percussion. It's worth noting that the Louis Philippe track (composed and arranged in collaboration with Dean Broderick) uses sounds derived exclusively from the human voice a good 12 years before Bjork did the same on Medulla.
