ABOUT: Much of An Laurence 安媛‘s debut recording, Almost Touching‘s generous duration is spent exploring the border between complete vulnerability and unbridled power through a series of unique solo works for guitar, voice, and electronics by a diverse array of living composers. Spanning surreal, dream-like montages to works, to audacious leaps between disparate sonic worlds found on Elischa Kaminer’s Chants d’amour this is a compelling and personal statement from the multifaceted Tiohtià:ke/ Montréal-based-performer.
