“Songs” and “absence,” the two main words in the title, are the content and program of this work.
From a feminist perspective, "Absence" examines the things that are missing, invisible, disappear in the gaps, want to be said or not, and questions whether absence is "merely" a lack of desire or inability to see. "Songs" points to a formal exploration, both of the song form and album structure itself, and, in the longer term, of the performance structure, which can range from individual songs to the entire album.
It is about the composition, the physical, sonic, spatial composition of an evening that functions like a polyphonic parkour: polyphonic, polyphonic, an autonomy and independence of the voices.
