ATLAS

Album by Meredith Monk

ATLAS is an album by American composer and vocalist Meredith Monk, released in 1991. The record employs extended vocal techniques, repetitive minimalist structures and sparse instrumental textures that blur the line between composition and theatrical performance, reflecting Monk's ongoing exploration of voice-centred ensemble work and representing a stage in her development of theatre-inflected vocal composition.
