houle
solo voice surdo and singing bowl debut album

From a shapeshifting ocean's swell ("houle" in French) emerges a stark improvised thought in seven parts, aesthetically exploring depths and their formless origins. A fearless expression of a voice and body, without words; a stormy inquiry into flowing sounds and cycles of freedom; subtle metamorphoses and budding hybrid forms.

A fearless expression of a voice and body, without words; a stormy inquiry into flowing sounds and cycles of freedom; subtle metamorphoses and budding hybrid forms. Order handmade print on bandcamp.com, or purchase physical CD at Downtown Music Gallery (NY), Souffle Continu (Paris).

PRESS
"The dialogue between Maviel’s singing and percussion, the independence between the two distinct personalities, is unheard of. It is impressive to witness live and on this recording it is utterly captivating." Jazz Right Now
"What a power and expression! Experimental & abstract of the one hand, but at the same time rooted in old black musical traditions. There is something magical in her performance." DM - Vital Weekly
hOULe in Jazz Right Now's best records of 2016
