Lyra Pramuk: Hymnal
Briefly

Lyra Pramuk, initially set on a career in operatic performance, adapted her artistic journey towards Berlin's vibrant dance scene. Her debut album, "Fountain," showcased her ability to create depth from her voice alone, utilizing technology to evoke a sense of ancient creativity. In her follow-up, "Hymnal," she embraced collaboration and integrated literature, visual art, and personal experiences, resulting in a work that reflects both individuality and a collective artistic spirit. Pramuk's exploration blurs genres, crafting a unique sound that resonates with both modern and traditional elements.
"I only set out to make an album because everyone told me I had to... I'm more likely to want to talk about Susan Sontag or aesthetics."
"Fountain was composed entirely of Pramuk's voice, which she manipulated, distorted, and layered... reminiscent of the way cultures that persisted for millennia without modern technology could create mind-boggling works from sparse natural resources."
