On her new vinyl album “chimeric”, Wassermann extends her voice with a wide array of implements; breath-driven drums, hydrophones used as throat microphones, bird whistles, jaw harps, brass megaphones. These objects don’t just function as embellishments or demonstrations, but rather, as companions – materials with which she communicates and is herself transformed. The result is a music in which the lines between self, object, and environment are constantly blurred, erased and redrawn.

Across six pieces, Wassermann’s voice moves with uncanny immediacy: lips smacked, gurgles roared, harmonic tails snapping through space. Recorded with a striking spatial presence – using stereo microphone placement that allows sound to shift with the smallest movement – the listener is placed almost between the ears of the performer, inside the throat’s resonant chambers as it flickers from whisper to warning, from animal cry to sculptural multiphonic bloom.
