'Spoken Wor(l)d 1.1': Celebrating One Year of Human Speech Electronica

'Spoken Wor(l)d 1.1': Celebrating One Year of Human Speech Electronica

Phileas' New Spoken Word Robotronica Adventure Released for Free

PARIS, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Music is communication, the ultimate universal language. Now imagine creating music using more than thirty other human languages.

That is exactly what France-based Peruvian electronic musician Phileas did on "Spoken Wor(l)d" (2008), his debut solo album, awarded in 2009 with the prestigious Vox Populi Award for Best Electronica Album of the Year in the 8th Independent Music Awards. Now he presents "Spoken Wor(l)d 1.1," a special anniversary edition of the critically acclaimed album, which includes the singles from the original recording plus some exciting previously unreleased material.

Phileas takes this anniversary celebration seriously: "Spoken Wor(l)d 1.1" was officially released for free download on September 2, 2009, on his official site, http://www.phileasworld.com/

Taking his name from one of the most famous fictional travelers the world has ever known, Phileas himself spent three years wandering the globe collecting voice samples in more than 30 languages to create "Spoken Wor(l)d." The theory behind this unique concept is that music unifies all these diverse voices, where the meaning of the words is less important than the sound that they make. And while this might sound a little high-minded, Phileas' music is still firmly rooted in fun.

Phileas' infectious, foot-tapping brand of dance oozes the kind of soulful feel so often lacking in this genre, bringing together these many voices and languages to sound as one. In the words of "Muse's Muse" (Canada): "'Spoken Wor(l)d' is a powerful musical journey that's littered with fragmented images, blurry conversations and immaculate melodies that illuminate every track with a gratifying sense of wonder and intrigue. It is a delicious mystery, and an album that will allow your musical consciousness to wander freely, encouraging you to explore the mesmerizing depths of the electronic worlds [Phileas] has created."

As Phileas himself says, the "Spoken Wor(l)d" projects are more than music recordings: "They are a positive message about the diversity and similarity of the people of this world." And it is a simply great electro-pop music project all at the same time, included by the UNESCO in the celebration of the International Year of the languages in 2008.
