Georgina Brett http://georginabrett.co.uk/

Georgina's music is created using her voice and effects pedals, creating instant choirs of sound often in an hypnotic style. The point of this music is not only to captivate with extraordinary timing and melodic style but also to help the listener to relax, in our ever increasingly fast world.
Her double album of vocal works with no lyrics, called Nonsense A and Nonsense B highlights the voice as an instrument, and as a vehicle for emotional expression. "So much music is to make us feel something so as to manipulate, buy or to follow.. this album let's your thoughts be whatever they want to be." Intellectually, Georgina's music adheres to some modernist and avant-garde principles but using harmonious parameters, instead of the more dissonant style of it's post-WW1 WW2 exponents. Georgina's music is also gradually becoming a great vehicle for more experimental work delving into expressive work which plays with the rich world of the media, politics, history, using matrices, semiotics and phonetics.
