Francesca Lilac Genco is renowned for her multifaceted career as a sound healer, singer, yoga teacher, bodywork practitioner, and teacher across various art disciplines. She has contributed two albums to the world of music, namely "Numinous River" in 2008 and "Lullabies for a World in Transition" in 2012. Her vocal talent was spotlighted in the musical scores composed by Ryan Amon for the 2013 sci-fi movie "Elysium," featuring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster, and in Kaveh Cohen's Japanese trailer music for the hit film "Avatar" by James Cameron. In 2009, she teamed up with Tonehammer to produce a vocal library, which received acclaim and paved the way for numerous collaborations with composers across the United States and Europe, including a significant project in 2014 with Soundiron to create an advanced voice library.
Genco is also the creative force behind Song of the Body, an organization dedicated to offering sessions, workshops, and retreats that focus on embodied voice practices, sound healing, yoga, and artistic expression. She conducts "Singing the Body" workshops, leads improvisational chanting groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, the East Coast, and Europe. Her teaching and private consultations emphasize forming a deep connection with one's body by tuning into and engaging with its inherent wisdom and vibrational qualities.
Voice of Gaia: Francesca brings to life the enchanting voice of Francesca Lilac Genco with chromatic true legato for Ah, Oo, and Humming sounds, ensuring smooth and natural transitions between notes. Beyond these core articulations, the library includes a variety of vowels and dynamics, from dramatic vibrato to soft whispers, all recorded with precision. The addition of staccato syllables with 8x round-robin across two octaves offers unparalleled realism and variety, allowing composers to convey a broad spectrum of emotions and textures in their music.
This library shines with its extensive collection of live melodic phrases, categorized into five distinct styles: Bombastic, Melodic, Bright, Atonal/Discordant, and Whispering. Each category is meticulously organized by root tempo and key, with intuitive controls for tempo-syncing, time-stretching, and pitch transposition. These phrases can be shaped, blended, and sequenced to fit any composition, offering a level of customization that inspires creativity and brings your musical vision to life.
The comprehensive FX Rack panel included with Voice of Gaia: Francesca extends your creative possibilities further. It features multi-effects, compression, EQ, amp/speaker simulation, and convolution reverb, with a rich selection of custom-recorded spaces and otherworldly effects. This powerful toolkit allows for intricate sound shaping and texturing, enabling composers to craft bespoke atmospheres and evoke specific moods and settings in their scores.
Recorded in a pristine studio environment using high dynamic range, large-diaphragm Neumann microphones, and silent Sound Devices preamps, Francesca's vocal performances are captured with exceptional clarity and detail. This focus on quality ensures that every subtlety of her voice, from the breathy nuances of whispered phrases to the powerful peaks of bombastic expressions, is preserved, providing a rich and emotive palette for composers and sound designers to draw from.
Optimized for the full version of Kontakt 5.1 or later, this library extends beyond traditional sampling. It is crafted to harness the power of Kontakt's advanced sampling capabilities, offering users an intuitive and flexible toolset for manipulating the unique sounds. While the library operates in a "demo mode" on the free Kontakt Player, its open-format design allows for broad compatibility with WAV-compatible software, ensuring that the sounds of the Voice of Gaia: Francesca can inspire music creation across a wide array of platforms. This library represents not just a collection of sounds, but a gateway to uncharted auditory experiences, encouraging musicians to explore, experiment, and express in new and exciting ways.
