Anna Homler is
an experimental vocalist, who sings in a phonetic melodic
language. With a sensitivity, that is both ancient and
post-modern, her work explores alternative means of communication and
the sonic properties of everyday objects. "Homler is (...) making
words musical and music like words." (New York Times). Since 1982 she
has worked in the US with composers/musicians Steve Moshier,
David Moss, Ethan James, Steve Roden, and Steve Peters. In
Europe, she has recorded and performed with the
Voices of Kwahn, Steve Beresford, Joker Nies, Peter Kowald, Geert
Wagemann, Pavel Fajt, and Frank Schulte, among others. Her most recent
CD release is with Sylvia Hallett, "The Many Moods of Bread and Shed,"
on the Orchestra Pit label. "HOMLER seems to sing in the forgotten dialect from some past life or some past world....disconcertingly bewitching." (Cadence) ".......a singer who can take the audience by the hand and lead them along the weird path between atmospherics and surreal humor." (Resonance) "The work...has the power to transform the kitsch artifacts and consumer culture into something ethereal, surreal and beautiful."
