quiet voices

quiet voices is a group from Dayton, United States, active since 1983. The act is associated with alternative rock, indie pop, indie rock, lo-fi, neo-psychedelia and psychedelic pop, and it has a wide and changing line-up that includes Kevin Fennell, Mitch Mitchell, Dan Toohey, James Greer, Don Depew, John Petkovic, Dave Swanson, Jim MacPherson, Nick Mitchell, Tobin Sprout, Greg Demos, Nate Farley, Doug Gillard, Kevin March, Jon McCann, Jim Pollard, Robert Pollard, Bruce Smith and Tim Tobias.

The name is also used for a collaborative musical and sound art project centred on ambient and electronic music, cinematic atmosphere and spoken word, with pieces connected to Jean-Yves Leloup and contributions from Hélène Vogelsinger, Villeneuve & Morando, Wild Anima, François-Eudes Chanfrault and Maxence Cyrin. That project draws on composers working in film, modern classical, ambient and electronic music, and uses spoken voices, including some taken from films, to create tracks that function as short, scene-like pieces.
