Facing North – Meredith Monk W/ Robert Een – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

With ‘Facing North,’ Meredith Monk and Robert Een invite listeners into a world where the human voice becomes both instrument and landscape. Drawing inspiration from the stark beauty of the Arctic, Monk crafts a collection of pieces that blur the divide between composition and improvisation, ancient ritual and modern minimalism. Every track is a study in subtlety; voices echo, merge, and diverge, conjuring the sensation of vast, uncharted spaces. This album stands as a testament to Monk’s pioneering approach in Western Classical music—one that values raw expression and the primal power of sound. Robert Een’s contributions enrich the vocal tapestry, adding gravity and warmth to Monk’s crystalline soprano. ‘Facing North’ is not just music—it’s an immersive sonic experience, inviting deep listening and contemplation. Ideal for collectors who appreciate avant-garde works that challenge conventions, this album holds a unique place in late 20th-century vocal exploration. Owning this record means possessing a piece of living musical history, an album that continues to inspire boundary-pushing artists across genres.
