música de boca

 Well there was I,  thinking I'd heard pretty much all of the mouth music out-thereness worth hearing - and then I stumbled, in a second-hand record shop in the East Village, yards from where we used to live, on an artist I'd never ever come across before: Carles Santos. A real polymath, it appears. But this particular album Voice Tracks, from 1980, contains a "Starsailor"-level voicescape titled "Autoretrat". 

Now I'm kicking myself I didn't pick up the LP.  It wasn't even insanely priced. 

It can be found at YouTube and on the streamers. 

Another fab repository of mouth music is 1989's Five Voices - an abstract-vocalese quintet involving vaguely recognised names like Ann Homler, Shelley Hirsch and David Moss as well as Santos. 

This next one ultra-sibilant and edging into avant-asmr territory

This next one is madcap - ludic yet alarming

Bit of recitative amid the crone babble here

Voice-only stuff crops up again in his variegated output
