vowels and other mouth sounds
Last night I braved the first real Chicago snowstorm and went out to the Bottle to see Carol Genetti perform.
Ms. Genetti is a vocal improviser, who sometimes performs with Saccadia, an experimental sound and performance troupe. Last night, however, she performed one solo set, and a second set accompanied by double bassist Damon Smith and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm.
I am highly enamored with vocal improvisation, and each time I've seen Genetti I've been blown away by her ability to string together squeaks, gurgles, monopthongs, fricatives, hisses and various other mouth sounds in order to create something transcendent.
This performance was in support of her new album The Shattering. Labels: music, music_commentary |
