About

In her stunning series of Mouthpiece compositions, Erin Gee presents a set of voluptuous enigmas – a taxonomy of finely-etched vocal utterances devoid of meaning, an orderly syntax of sounds that vaporizes fixed forms, an aesthetic environment that feels at once extraterrestrial and uncannily familiar. In a laidback manner and with apparently effortless ease the American composer involves her entire vocal apparatus in the making of the music.

June 2014

A concept such as this inevitably has to divest itself of any 'novelty' connotations - which it does in this instance through the tangible virtuosity of Gee's formidable vocal execution, as well as the comparable (if relatively more orthodox) finesse of the instrumental component.
