Manuela Schulz is a sound project of the Drone Music studio in which voice is the primary raw material and electronics the means of transformation. Short sung tones are frozen with spectral processing, pitch-shifted into lower and higher registers and stacked into chords no single singer could hold.
The human origin remains audible in the breathiness and vowel colour, even when the sound stretches to several minutes. Pieces are cool, clear and quietly intense, with a slight electronic glare in the upper frequencies. They suit attentive listening on headphones, where the shifting vowels become easier to follow.
