Published by Vahram Sargsyan (A0.882922). Labia Mea for eight mixed voices a cappella is a unique innovative composition that explores and questions the possibilities of the human voice. Several unusual techniques are used throughout the work such as different types of throat singing, overtone singing, multiphonics, vocal percussion, extreme registers etc. It reveals some sounds and colors yet unknown to the world of vocal music. The work is based on a short excerpt of the psalm 50 (Domine labia mea aperies). There is a text accumulation process throughout the work, at the beginning there are just sounds, then phonemes assemble, words appear and closer to the end the full text is revealed.
