Vocals and production, Deborah Stephens
Recorded in New Haven, Connecticut (April 2021)
The title "Avenoir" comes from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, and it means the desire to see memories in advance, which is what Deborah believes happens before death; we're finally able to see our lives from end to beginning and witness the story we've been telling our entire lives. Using her nearly 4.5 octave range (F2 to Bb6), Deborah recorded all six voice parts herself using multitrack software to achieve a sonic experience that speaks to the mystery surrounding one's final moments on this earth.
