The multi vocalist Ruth Wilhelmine Meyer departs radically and deliberately from the idea that there is only one ideal sound that should prevail within the same concert or recording. On Vox Humana she expresses the possibilities of the voice in many directions, ranging from the ideals of folk music through folk songs and classical songs to overtone or throat singing and vocal forms of expression resembling bird song or machine noise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this production Nils Henrik Asheim exploits the tonal range of the organ, the most versatile of all instruments.
