Although entirely instrumental, the album is shaped by the presence of her voice — in the phrasing, dynamics and character of the arrangements. Originally conceived with her voice as a solo instrument, the music was later reworked so that its vocal qualities could merge into the sections themselves. The result is a distinctive sound where the voice is present without ever being heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Joy* brings a singer’s physical and musical experience into the world of big band composition, creating a rich and expressive sound where the collective becomes the storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOOB RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48442053099676,"sku":"LPHOOB134","price":25.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/lasgo-nov13-7320470277997.jpg?v=1794660379","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/maja-svantesson-orchestra-joy-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
