From Tom Buckner:

Dear Friends,

It is my great pleasure to announce the release today on Chant Records of a new recording of duo improvisations, Voicescapes, by the wonderful Danish singer Randi Pontoppidan and myself. Recorded on the beautiful island of Møn, Denmark in 2018 with no preconceived musical material, no overdubs and no sound sources other than voices, Voicescapes documents the spontaneous music of two kindred souls.

Sincerely, Tom

RANDI PONTOPPIDAN & THOMAS BUCKNER
