| | Voices Of Kwahn are American vocalist (and performance artist) Anna Homler and multi-instrumentalist Mark "Pylon King" Davies.
The single 'Colonist Dreamer' introduced their elegant fusion of quirky vocals and electronic/ethnic ambience. Originally, on '[r=246418]' (Max-Bilt, 1993), Nigel Butler was the keyboardist and the sound was a light patina of samples, dance beats, dub reverbs and vocal avantgarde (but Homler's contribution is minimal). Butler left, Davies absorbed ethnic influences and Homler's vocals became a staple of the dance/trance format (The Great Call, Silver Bowl) on 'Silver Bowl Transmission' (North South, 1996). '[r=263694]' (Swarffinger, 1997) is less ethereal and, at times, almost industrial. Heavy on the samples and the percussions. The mini-album 'Operation Dismantled Sun' (Swarffinger, 1998) presents yet another version of Voices Of Kwahn, one that has left behind the ambient/new age leanings of the early albums (and Homler's vocals) and favors a harder, harsher, haunting approach.
