They said it was written in our palms As if etched iceburg to mountain As if these lines weren’t carved by dreams Shifting together destiny and cell From tired wrists we reach and lift Gravity lets go and we soar The metal plate over this chest is sore I scrape and pry with these Palms a crack gives way to Lift And we finally see whats under the Mountain Under each of these Cells A writhing microcosm of Dreams The bare broken wonder of Dreams That lifts mind to sky to Soar Shifting nucleus to electron to Cell Feel it gathering, pooling in your Palms Strength like Atlas at the top of the Mountain These clouds could use a lift These convictions could use a Lift So they could see at their edge lies Dreams Hurled down from the top of the Mountain They conjure wings and Soar Only to find a home inside your Palms And disintegrate into cell Why would you try to sell What you struggle to Lift The will of gripping Palms Let go to let in the forest of Dreams We all struggle to Soar Its always the first step to the mountain To the last gift on the precipice of the Mountain That reaches into every Cell Though tired, worked and Soar Every muscle and tendon is needed to Lift The bleached bones of our Dreams The willing flesh of these Palms

about

Vox.Infold, the latest album from Ruby Singh, is an a cappella offering, composed and (remarkably) recorded at a time when singing together was something that could kill us. Against the backdrop of the covid 19 pandemic and amidst potent social unrest, this powerhouse vocal ensemble of Indigenous, Inuit, Black and South Asian voices, reimagined how to sing together. The resulting work is so much more than a convergence of diverse vocal traditions but a complex rendering of what’s possible when we can hold each other's humanity. The album dives into a full bodied, resonant and sensuous expression housed in polyrhythm, lush harmonies, mimicry, and polyphonic poetry. The resulting sonic landscape encompasses a non-linear journey in which we may find and care for each other. Evoking loneliness, joy, the mysterious and supernatural, Vox.Infold brings together musical luminaries, Dawn Pemberton, Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik of PIQSIQ, Russell Wallace, Tiffany Moses, Shamik Bilgi and Ruby Singh. They remind us that the human voice is an adaptation of the metabolic activity most crucial to our existence – breathing. This is how the atmosphere enters our beings and how we know we are intimately connected to our world.
