Vocal Looping Artist Jordana Talsky Compels While Growing Into Herself on Inspired New Solo EP "Zahava"
Canadian musician Jordana Talsky has grown into herself. On her immersive new EP "Zahava", she undertakes all the musical roles using only her voice and body."Zahava" is a fascinating all vocal looping release rooted in deep human themes everyone can relate to. Jordana Talsky emotes the sounds behind her awareness that our fragmented identities are always in conflict, but can be 'harmonized as we grow to be at home in ourselves.'
From the Artist:
This is an all vocal looping record. All of the sounds were made by my voice or body.
In becoming a loop artist and learning to do a new thing with myself, I have come up against my insecurities and criticisms, and have found that in many ways, this creation journey has mirrored the challenge I experience to be at home with myself. I believe most of us have different parts to our identities that are in conflict, but which can be harmonized as we grow into ourselves. I am a person of several voices, and now a choir of one. "Zahava", my middle name, means 'golden' in Hebrew, and reminds me that the gold in all of us - our beauty, wisdom and power - will be best harnessed when we learn to feel at home. I hope something in this music may inspire you to find home in your self. - Jordana Talsky
The resulting music on "Zahava" is original, hypnotic and compelling.
