9 Xi.me.na Borges – Joyful Noise
One Voice. One Body. No instruments. Five languages. New York/Venezuelan experimental musician, Xi.me.na Borges is an extremely eclectic songwriter. Armed with an array of digital and analogue technologies, Xi.me.na uses her voice to blend the music of disparate times and places, creating alluring sonic collages all in real time. It’s like being inside a composer’s mind while she works, and the effect is totally mesmerizing. “Joyful Noise” may well be the strangest Christmas album ever; recorded entirely with her own voice in five languages.
