SILENT ISLE is Anastasia Clarke's stretched-out songwriting project. Amid swarms of guitar and electronics-driven textures, each performance sees lyrical through lines constructed, cut, and collaged back together through on-the-fly sampling and sound re-ordering techniques. A childhood history of choral singing underlies Clarke's commitment to the ever-present inclusion of the human voice, which is augmented by approaches borrowed from experimental, popular, and global traditions.
