(excerpt)
Kristin Norderval’s striking vocal utterances and migrating harmonies permeate the final track of the album in “m/y much desired one”, which evolves from samples of her singing, gradually layering one track on top of the other. The sweet, lulling environment this creates is gently ruffled by a whispering voice quoting passages by Monique Wittig. Camera work by Kaia Means and video editing and processing by Katherine Liberovskaya provide a delicate symbiosis to the piece, involving slowly moving concrete imagery that at times is abstract but seems frequently to draw from the physical world, using imagery of a silhouetted figure against the sharp geometries of buildings intercut by leafless branches in the foreground, for example.
