Another show on sound-based music for Radio NZ Concert’s Upbeat show (to be aired sometime next week). The 20 min slot explores the voice as mediator of inside/outside, self/other, the act of making ourselves through sound – “My voice is not something I merely have… Rather it is something I do” (Stephen Connor, Dumbstruck: a cultural history of ventriloquism). The following works are featured:
- Médéric Collignon, Improbrilation from Blood, Muscle & Air: The Intimate Voice [CD]
- Robert Ashley, She was a visitor from Automatic Writing [CD]
- John Cousins, Tense Test from Sleep Exposure [CD]
- Yannis Kyriakides, pensioner_0496 from Wordless [CD]
