Details

Foreign Experiences is a spoken word opera featuring Sam Ashley, Jacqueline Humbert, and Tom Hamilton. The performers voices are set against a background of recorded voices. Many of the 'background voices' were processed in an extreme fashion to create extra parts in the orchestra. Sometimes they can be heard as ghostly premonitions similar to 'evp' recordings (Electronic Voice Phenomena). 'evp' recordings, important in the 1970's (the time situation of Foreign Experiences), frequently feature subtle voices that are either buried in or constructed from noise.
