Swung is Aucklands Zoe Drayton. Besides her invaluable role as
the chief archivist, promoter and all round lynchpin of the
New Zealand 'new music' scene, Drayton is an active musician
and composer in her own right.
'Voice and Key' is -as the name suggests- a collection of
keyboard and voice works from the period 1996-2006. Each track
is an entity unto itself. The 1st features a simple melancholy
piano figure that is looped and cut up until it utterly
fragments into a stacatto drone, the 2nd sounds almost a found
recording of private utterances, sommeone sitting at a piano
in a cool summer room. Track 3 is a beautiful short and
wordless "pop song", track 4 an abstract organ trajectory and
track 5 a radically deconstructed lullaby.
'Voice and Key' is a extraordinarily intimate and beautiful
work. It feels a privilege to be invited in to listen.
