FONTIS by Voxfire
FONTIS represents a novel collaboration across ten centuries among artists, genres, and technologies. Words and music from the chapels, courts, and countrysides of medieval Spain and France travel forward in time to share the limelight with contemporary jazz, rock, folk, and classical music.
VOXFIRE — an ensemble comprising vocalists Samela Aird Beasom, Christen Herman, and Susan Judy, join with Nick DePinna and Ross Garren, who bring their skills as composers and arrangers and mastery of traditional and non-traditional instruments, synthesizers, and computer processing to Voxfire’s latest explorations of medieval song, transporting the listener to a multidimensional world of timeless beauty.
