Oralizations
Paul Dutton
Hurlements, grognements et déclamations à l’apparence déstructurée parsèment un enregistrement retraçant un itinéraire d’une trentaine d’années. — Revue & Corrigée, France
… les autres apprécieront l’aspect cocasse de ces fragments pour découvrir, peu à peu, la grande inventivité qui les traverse. — Voir, Québec
Richly textured multiphonic vocal virtuosity, laced with rasps, rumbles, honks, howls, and wheezes, featured in freely improvised and formally structured solos, with flights of verbal invention added into the mix — Oralizations offers works spanning Paul Dutton’s more than thirty years of bursting the bonds of convention, testing the extremes of voice and verbalization, and blurring the borders between literature and music.

Recensione
Le presenti quattro novità della canadese Ambiances Magnétiques rendono bene il raggio di azione — esteso, vasto e aperto — che questa etichetta copre.
La parola è musica. Era già il motto de
La parola oltre la parola, in essenza. In
Da corde, tasti, percussioni sfiorate (e poco percosse) scaturisce un jazz di matrice sperimentale, con riferimenti voluti ad un Derek Bailey e ad un Fred Frith, una musica profonda, cupa a tratti, piena d’imprevisti, oscillante in una atmosfera rarefatta. Lavoro immaginario e immaginifico, per carattere dei suoi interpreti, beffeggia le regole della gravità con il suo senso di irrinunciabile sospensione.

Review
Like a train traveling up a steep hill, [literally speaking]

I don’t know how Paul does what he does with his throat, and l’Il probably never learn the secrets of his trade, but here and now,
