Diamanda Galás is an American musician, singer-songwriter, visual artist, composer, pianist, organist and performance artist, with an exceptional operatic vocal range of at least three octaves, if not four.
The performance art opera here is a method of scream singing, in her words “piercing, guttural screams of pain, crescendos of raw human sound, visceral primeval calls and episodes of silence form the extended aria of pain that is SCHREI”.
This is likely Diamanda’s most aggressive and difficult work- there are also jazz, traditional opera, rock and roll, and even a Chet Baker cover in her repertoire if you’re interested in exploring.
