| Sally Doherty Released 1996
Sally Doherty’s overwhelming debut album is an enchanting journey through a myriad of sound and voice-scapes. The acoustic instrumentation is sometimes lush, sometimes minimal. African and Indian percussion offer a mesmeric rawness which contrasts brilliantly with the fluidity of the piano and strings. Occasionally Sally uses merely the percussive and harmonic qualities of her voice to create a piece of music. The backing varies in mood and style to suit Sally’s changeable and expressive voice. The voice is sometimes a soft and focused closeness and at other times strong and full or instrumental and abstract. The experience is emotionally intense throughout. The music is inspired by several genres and ancient musical forms yet in itself is contemporary.
