Adiemus

Adiemus is a musical project primarily led by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, featuring the "Adiemus Singers."

The distinctive vocal performances on the initial four Adiemus albums were delivered by session singer Miriam Stockley. Mary Carewe also contributed additional vocals across most of the albums, with the exception of "Dances of Time." This particular album marked the debut of the Finnish Adiemus Singers, who would later be featured on "Vocalise." A key element of the Adiemus sound was achieved through extensive overdubbing and tape speed manipulation, with vocalists sometimes recorded up to forty times to create rich choral effects.
