Crying Games

Irena Tomažin

Music CD
08 September 2011

iT (Irena Tomažin) is a multitude of voices intertwined into melodies, monologues, dialogues, recorded and recorded in repetitive loops, dubbed over each other, blurred in noise or sharpened in solitude. These are voices from pieces of stories torn or embedded in landscapes of songs and atmospheres.

Crying Games are songs and spoken lyrics that have been created since 2005 and have been reworked through various improvisations and interpretations. Created from inspiration or from dramatic texts or from pop songs, or mainly from iT‘s experimentation with voices. Through dictaphones and cassettes these voices create independent sound worlds.
