When Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins sings in such a way, that is by using non-verbal-vocal noise (recognized as either qualisigns or icons), and the occasional word or two, her singing evokes different mental images, memories, colors, and emotions in different listeners.
It is as though Fraser is using her voice as a complimentary sound source to the rest of the musicians’ input, as if it is another instrument to be considered in the recording studios final mix-down.
To consider Fraser’s cool voice sailing high above the guitars and percussion in any of Cocteau’s songs and recognize that she sounds similar to a synthesizer hitting and sustaining those notes, in that sense, Fraser’s voice is noted in semiotic terms as being Iconic to a synthesizer, or an icon of it.
