I AM YOU/ in the garden / peze kafé live at resonant bodies festival
LATIBONIT (haitian trad.) excerpt from Legba swaying
in the garden eponymous solo live album
in the garden documents Anaïs Maviel’s performative and compositional investigations, at a turning point in her creative process. In this live performance recorded at Obey Convention (K’jipuktuk | Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2018) we hear voice, kamele n’goni, lyra, surdo, singing bowl, and piano – played all in one set. In this rare setting, Maviel offers a condensed presentation of a process that ranges from embodied spatialization to instrumental layered textures, intertwining with the emergence of language.

“Standing ovation” - Exclaim. "There is some undefinable magic in her performance. Her music has some archaic quality as if it is welling up from the deep subconscious. She performs with an impressive voice that is very flexible and far-reaching. (...) It is incredible how she sings and plays at the same time. But it is above the unique and deep human quality that impresses." - Vital Weekly "in the garden is a microcosm of various influences used together to create a stunning work of virtuosity and originality that will engage you from the very first note." - Sybaritic Singer |
