about

Recorded December 2012/January 2013.

In 2010, i've already made an album of songs based on Walt Whitman Poetry taken from "Leaves of Grass". You can download "Multitudes" for free on FMA (Free Music Archive)

This time, i've taken extracts of "Leaves of Grass" i've never used on "Multitudes" and i've created new songs. They've been recorded live on the moment, so they're quite imperfect. But I wanted something more spontaneous and improvised.

released February 10, 2013

"This isn't Delphine Dora's latest release. That can be found here, and is far better produced. It's better mixed and better recorded, but I find the spontaneous improvisation on display here far more intriguing. Based on the poetry of Walt Whitman, Dora's piano playing and strained vocals retain a certain child-like imperfection. Ofttimes they bounce and skip along long passages of lawn, and at others they seem to age, sighing and struggling to recite unsettled lines of constructed verse. They echo at points and seem swamped at others, overwhelmed by the Satie-inspired minimalism of her piano. Like a poem the tracks twist and change, exploring avenues of darkness and dappled light. It's a wonderfully thoughtful probing of both Whitman's poetry, and the uncertain fickleness of man." (Music Dissection)

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 9 fans who also own “Multitudes II”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
