Linda Laasi
Linda Laasi sings vocal harmonics into ambient dreamscapes, pure human voice treated as instrument. Overtone colour rises like night-lights over ocean and land, crystal bowls and throat-driven tones woven into calm, spacious sound.
With Dean Frenkel she carries Magic Sounds from Northern Dreams to Southern Dreams on two natural voices alone, harmonics blooming in open space. She sings the night-lights while ocean tones answer; in Crystal Temple her voice and the crystal bowls blur until the ear can barely separate them. On Cosmosis she adds thumb piano and joins Mia Shaw as 44 Sunsets, the duo that also sang for the Jindabyne soundtrack. The music sits where meditation, chill-out and living world tradition meet: ancient overtone practice set free for listening that steadies the breath and opens the room.
Linda Laasi is featured on the following titles
Magic Sounds
Magic Sounds moves through meditation, ambient, chill-out, fine world, soundtrack, spiritual (non-religious) and contemporary choral territory, built from authentic human voices rather than synthesizers.
Compositions by Linda Laasi also appear on
Cosmosis
The album explores the many combinations throat singing can take. Dean Frenkel pairs overtone singing with a children’s choir, guitar and mandolin, Australian birds, contemporary piano, vibraphone duet, and a female vocal duo in song form.

Ambient Voice
Ambient Voice places Dean Frenkel’s haunting harmonic vocals over and within works by outstanding Australian composers, among them Mark Clement Pollard, George Dreyfus, Andrew MacGregor and Invention in Time.
Barefoot in the Sky
Barefoot in the Sky fuses ancient and contemporary practice: rhythmic and melodic, organic and electronic, choral and tribal. It moves through enough moods for several albums, in a vein the artists call ambient space-world jazz.
