 "Houle not only owns the many avant vocal styles on display here, she has something unique — sometimes stunningly brilliant — to bring to each of them." "Intimate, eerie, electrifying, Treize is a tour de force of vocal improvisation. ...an auspicious debut recording from an attention-riveting artist." "Houle warbles and scats like some demented cross between Yma Sumac and Slim Gaillard, but also does the Phil Minton thing of squeezing non-musical grunts and sighs from a closed larynx."

Looking forward to being a participant in CO:Lab! A Dance Centre and Canadian Music Centre project, CO: LAB is a six-day ‘collaborative laboratory’ where six choreographers and six composers are invited to come together in the studio to explore the infinite possibilities of contemporary interdisciplinary creative process. I'll be one of the composers and I get to invite one musician to join me for the process. This fits in perfectly with my Charlotte research project which had me exploring voice and movement. Looking forward to this very much! less ... In October, Holland's Jaap Blonk (vocalist, sound poet, improvisor) was here on the coast as an artist in residence in our Roberts Creek Lotfive Studios. We did some playing and recording together. Incredible! I had admired Jaap's work for so many years. What a thrill to sing with him! Jaap also offered a vocal workshop here on the coast and we performed together with Stefan for the Sechelt Arts Festival and then at 1067 in Vancouver with Stefan and Lisa Miller. more ...
