Many thanks for amazing response. We will respond on interviews asp.
Experienced and imaginative electronic musician / live programmer/ sound designer required to design, structure and arrange field recordings and linguistic material as well as process live vocals for a predominantly vocal/verbal durational performance.
This new work is part of a cycle of performances created by writer and lead artist Caroline Bergvall with collaborators since 2016. Multisensory and site-specific compositions will draw on spoken voice, various musical traditions, multilingual field recordings, and will be inspired by the need to redefine or reclaim one’s own identities, so acute in today’s political climate.
