Description Hailed a a "magician of the voice", "voice of the future" and "a phenomenon", Meredith Monk is a pioneer of extended vocal technique and performance. She has invented a stunning vocabulary including her characteristic ululation's multi-phonics, whispers, slides, range skips and hockets. Her wordless music combines the technical virtuosity of classical music, the poignancy and directness of folk music, the freedom and flexibility of jazz and the rhythmic immediacy and excitement of rock and roll.
