Many Things Invisible

by Carrington MacDuffie (Editor, & Narrator)

In this collection of fourteen poems by veteran vocal performer Carrington MacDuffie, spoken word is interwoven with music, sound, and vocals to create evocative and richly colored works of the imagination. Surreal, with a hint of the fairy tale, crossing grittiness with sweetness and light, the stories and images are haunting, engaging expressions of the female voice. Other voices are brought in to accent the work, and the music moves from meditative and entrancing to energized and impassioned. This highly original, multilayered confluence of language and sound can be experienced intimately for the depth of its content or enjoyed for its dreamy atmosphere.

[Christopher White · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very odd. This was produced for audio, which is good. And it was very short. which was also a good thing. But the music and sound effects were not well matched to the poetry, and it was a chore to listen to. Below-average, two stars.

Poetry with music and sound effects. Great but poetry was too deep not to be read.

Made for audio with great background music and effects. Fun to listen to.
