Jyoti Verhoeff - Touches - I Speak With My Mouth Shut (CD)
From Our Friends at OOB Records
The album Touches – I Speak With My Mouth Shut questions the way humans relate to the world around them, to each other, and to themselves. Instead of using all of the senses, more and more of our interactions consist solely of words (spoken or written or on glowing screens). The word has become more or less completely disposable. People never stop talking. While putting so much significance on words, a lot of our communication is left out, hollowed out, made shallow. People are no longer consciously using the most important ancient way of communication. In fact, words are the easiest way to mislead and deceive others. Some also use them to create a shield behind which they hide their vulnerability and fears.
Jyoti Verhoeff is a singer-songwriter, composer and pianist. At the age of four, she discovered the expressionistic power of the grand piano, while visiting the house of composer Simeon ten Holt, a friend of the family. Having been born with a visual disability, she had to find ways beyond the traditional means of studying music to express her rich inner world through the piano and with her voice. Because of her dedication and unique talent for music she was able to develop a virtuoso piano technique and an authentic and organic style of composing.
