STRANGEFIRE & the MANY VOICES of SOULSPEAK are spontaneous musical collaborations grounded by the SOULSPEAK poetry of Scylla Liscombe & Justin Spring & the musical genius of musician George DeJong. Other players were Jane Odle, Andres Sas and Brian Hawkes. While the sound quality may sometimes leave a little to be desired, the authenticity and immediacy of these speakings shines through.

These songs, the lyrics and the music, are created spontaneously in the studio. Nothing is prearranged or written down. Based on the spontaneous oral poetry traditions of our ancestors, a contemporary form of this poetry is called SOULSPEAK. It originated with Scylla and poet Justin Spring in the early 90’s.
