Noora Hahl is a sound project from the Drone Music studio pairing grand piano with layered choral voice. The voices are multitracked into small virtual choirs holding chords for minutes at a time, while the piano marks slow changes with single low strikes and quiet clusters.
Breath, consonants and small imperfections in pitch are kept rather than corrected, so the vocal drone has a human grain. The tone is reflective and soft-edged, comparable to sacred minimalism without its liturgical framework. Headphones help to separate the individual voices inside the chord, which is where much of the detail lies.
