"I come from a long tradition of singers. I'm a fourth generation singer in my family, so I really had something that I could work with that was just given to me. It was really about finding all the voices within my voice and all the possibilities of producing sound and voice as sound. I think early on I realized that I didn't want to have words in the songs because I felt that the voice itself was a language and that within it was limitless possibilities of color and texture, breath and gender, age, landscape and character." (Meredith Monk)
