Adult Themes for Voice is an album recorded by Mike Patton (vocalist for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, etc.) in hotel rooms during a Faith No More tour. It consists of vocal noises by Patton himself. The 34 tracks aren't considered singing in any conventional sense, as they consist mainly of Patton shouting, screaming, clapping, squeaking and moaning. These elements were then spliced and edited in a fashion that resulted in a dramatic ebb and flow of bizarre, albeit organic sounding compositions. The compositions do not adhere to the traditional song writing structure of Western Pop music. The body of work could rightfully be classified as free-form experimental sound utilizing a singular vocal instrument.
Mike Patton stated that japaneese noise band Hanatarash's album Aids - A - Delic inspired this release.
