Moments Worth Listening For

The dizzying layering of vocal lines on First Polyphony that creates a choir out of a single person.

The way the voice mimics the breathy timbre of a flute during Shakuhachi Song.

The sudden, sharp percussive vocal pops that punctuate the otherwise fluid Narcissa Solis.
