This piece is composed using solely the voice. I'm not sure whether it's because of the age and/or the media (Record) or because of manipulation, but it's very difficult to tell that this is all based off of a voice at all. It really has been manipulated to the point that it all sounds like computer music. Some of the vocal stuff has been reversed, and it sounds like it has been treated with a wahwah sort of effect in some places. Obviously Parmegiani also did a lot of pitch shifting. It's amazing how little it sounds like voice, especially on those long bass notes.
"Danse" was an interesting choice of title, because it doesn't really sound at all dance-like. It's very slow and low, and has no real sense of meter.
