Das Geheimnis der Bulgarischen Stimmen ft.Lisa Gerrard
BooCheeMish – the new project of the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices
In May 2018, the Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices released their first album of new studio recordings in over two decades entitled BooCheeMish. Better known to many as Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares, in BooCheeMish the esteemed Bulgarian choir performs together with erstwhile 4AD Records label mate Lisa Gerrard (co-founder of the duo Dead Can Dance) on several tracks, thereby uniting two of the most distinctive vocal acts working in music.
BooCheeMish introduces 12 brand new songs written for the choir by Lisa Gerrard, the Irish composer Jules Maxwell and the Bulgarian composer Petar Dundakov, who is also the music producer of the album. While some of his tracks are fully original pieces, others are based on folklore songs and dances with original material added.
The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices
Under the direction of Dora Hristova, the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices has performed over 1250 concerts outside its home territory since the late 80s in some of the most prestigious venues in the world. Choir members have also worked with or been sampled by artists as diverse as Kate Bush, U2 and Drake. Once described as 'the marriage of the avant-garde and the Middle Ages', the magic of the ensemble stems from its success in mastering Bulgaria’s
diverse, age-old vocal traditions while simultaneously sounding strikingly modern and original, thanks to the unique choral music structure - multi-part a cappella arrangements that transform its collective sound into strange colours as if something other than the human voice is being heard. Dora Hristova describes it as 'a natural, piercing sound for the outdoors to carry across the fields or from hilltop to hilltop. The sound is created in the larynx and resonates in the chest. It requires great pressure of the breath to create the sound and you must be very strong to sing in this fashion.'
