JACQUELINE HUMBERT & SAM ASHLEY
In a residency at iSAW’s sound studio, Jacqueline Humbert and Sam Ashley worked on a duet version of Foreign Experiences by Robert Ashley. The voice recordings made during the live performance of the work during their residency were used in the recent CD release on Lovely Music
“For Ashley, inobtrusive form is ideal for the delivery of thought-provoking content. He eschews the romantic plots of traditional opera to plumb the depths of the psyche, sculpting a vast landscape of surreal concepts, storylines, and characters. Sometimes shocking in their intensity, the operas can range from poetic transcendence to humorous everyday experience.” — John Anderson, Miami New Times
Jacqueline Humbert used part of her residency to work out material for her Lovely Music compact disc CHANTEUSE, Songs of a Different Sort, released in 2004
