V'Oct(Ritual) Performance at NIME 2011 from Mark Bokowiec on Vimeo.

"I just watched the Vimeo of V'Oct and it really is quite beautiful! I love the way it unfolds...dreamlike...like clouds slowly passing by...then out to space...it's got that shaman's trance feel to it, shades of Ligeti and Arvo Part, with a delicate ethereal quality. Julie Wison-Bokowiec looks superb, sounds amazing, I love the subtle gestures and evocative vocalization, you really feel it! It's amazing how you sound ancient and modern at the same time, evoking the primitive whilst signalling the cosmos. I like the vari-speed/pitch shift type thing you use towards the end and the low deep-core voicing" (Julius Vasylenko - Saxophonist)
