Valby Vokalgruppe returns with ‘Solids For Voices‘ — a new album marking their debut on Hands in the Dark.
Initiated in 2008 by Anja Jacobsen, the Danish collective’s current line-cup is completed by Lil Lacy, Sonja LaBianca, Cæcilie Trier and Laura Marie Madsen. The group has written and performed a large number of cross-aesthetic pieces over the years, including an album ‘Bah New Era‘ released in 2012 on Eget Værelse.
Sharpened to its core, the group dives deep into rhythmical architectures built almost solely from the voice – think Platonic solids reimagined as sound objects. Think trance without electronics. These new compositions are compressed, sparkling forms — vocal geometries that spin, collide, and dissolve through repetition. From inside the circle: radical precision, soft dissonance, and playful intuition guide the way. The group explores the voice not as melody alone, but as material — vibrating, modulating, refracting.
‘Solids for Voices‘ transcends into deep concentration calling for a clear state of mind, in recognition of an increasingly fragmented and incoherent reality. Valby Vokalgruppe endeavours a total absorption into the voice, the rhythm and the trance.
19-fold axis, O, M (Spejling) and Degrees of Freedom composed by Valby Vokalgruppe.
Delfisk Hymne composed by Athénaios Athenaíou who inscribed it on a stone in Delphi in 128 BC.
Monastère de Ségriès composed by Zoé Perret, Yann Hunziker, Fanny Perrier Rochas and Anja Jacobsen, created for ‘Symphonie de Ségriès’ 2024, by invitation from Vincent Moon.
