It is an intimate record in which Klinck’s expressiv…

Later works by…

Void Ov Voices : Baalbek
"I started Void Ov Voices in 2006 to create ritualistic music for the moment, to play only live performances while capturing and interfering with the energy of the space and the time of the location.

I was deeply impressed by the level of ancient civilisations engineering technology and the intense magical atmosphere of the whole area. I have been fascinated by a…
