Melodic Fictions

Merinda Dias-Jayasinha

These pieces were created for five wonderful humans - Rachel, Belle, Siobhan, Emma, and Claire.

I am releasing this contemporary choral, improvised, multi-layer solo voice EP a few years on because I still look back so fondly on that creative time and am still in awe of these women.

I had the opportunity to work with these performers across 2022 for Siobhan's 'Rhythmic Fictions' and had the pleasure of singing with them all (my favourite thing to do with anyone). The work concluded in a sound bath and that period of time was just the loveliest, most inspiring experience. It only felt right to offer them a sound bath each when we wrapped the show - five layers of solo, improvised voice forming each piece for five dancers.
