Bio
To describe Sandpaper Dolls as an a cappella group is about as accurate as saying that Nina Simone was a pianist. It's true, but it is not the whole truth. There is more to the music of Mss. Anderson, Estes and Dennison than the remarkable sound of three women conjuring music with their voices alone. They lure their listeners into well appointed rooms of familiar comforts but before we have time to lean back on customary expectations of a cappella music, their music politely informs us that our expectations will be of little use. The curtains drawn aside, we're offered a view of territory where the unaccompanied voice may still claim new ground. The Sandpaper Dolls explore song with a steadiness and confidence that cannot be achieved by mere familiarity or studious listening alone. They understand music and the power inherent in the human voice. Their songs are an elaboration of that understanding. Contemplative tone studies broker glorious agreements with Gospel and Vocal Jazz. The unsettling tones of the baroque shadow-shift amid the triumphant plaintiveness of the field holler. Afrobeat lies down with avant garde on a bed of peat moss. The lyrical content nods once at the playful and common, then at the distinctly darker elements of loss and uncertainty. Melody revels in her devotion to her sisters Story, Rhythm, Breath and Wonder. In listening to the music of Sandpaper Dolls, we're reminded that the human voice is the original instrument and we are delighted to discover that it yields new pleasures still. Hallelujah. -

Trains, clocks, and rain, breathing exercises, vocalizations, the near collision of three distinct notes, and chords that make the room vibrate. Dissonance, consonace, vibrance, dynomance. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Morceau d'Apprenti
Apprentice Piece, Pezzo di apprendista,
Lehrlingstück, Pedazo de aprendiz.
L'Apprenti présente ce travail muet, naïf, et parmi un choeur silencieux (un choeur
complèt de gens qui sont énergiquement et physiquement présent mais
sonorement nul). J'apprends à être comme un apprenti.
L'Apprendista presenta questo lavoro senza parole, ingenuo, e fra un coro
silenzioso (un coro raccolto di persone che sono con vigore e fisicamente
attuale ma sonicamente nullo). Imparo a essere come un apprendista.
El Aprendiz presenta este trabajo mudo, ingenuo, y entre un coro silencioso
(un coro completo de personas que son presenta físicamente y energéticamente
pero sónicamente nulo). Aprendo a ser como un aprendiz.
Der Lehrling überreicht diese Arbeit wortlos, naiv, und unter einem schweigsamen
Chor (ein gesammelter Chor von Leuten, der energisch und physisch ist, überreicht
aber schall nichtig). Ich lerne, als ein Lehrling zu sein.
The Apprentice presents this work wordless, naive, and among a silent choir
(a collected choir of people who are energetically and physically present but
sonically null.) I am learning to be as an apprentice. - Elizabeth Devlin3 years ago

Bio:
..Once upon a time there were three little girls - a little tough, but with voices that would make you weep for joy. One day these girls said, 'Hey, why don't we gang up and make people cry together?' Three voices are better than one right?
These three are.
