    Juliet Fraser 'these things at least'

    Juliet Fraser 'these things at least' from 'My Adventures with the TC Helicon VoiceLive 3', recorded 8 April 2020 and dedicated to Lisa Illean. When lockdown began and I began panicking about how on earth I was going to practice 'properly' at home in this tiny flat, I decided to take the plunge and buy the TC Helicon VoiceLive 3, a piece of kit I had been thinking about for ages, and make this a lockdown project that might save morale and sanity. Here is one of the spontaneous little experiments that have emerged as I get to know the beast, fiddling around with the several hundred preset vocal effects, the manifold possibilities of individual effects (such as harmony and hardtune) and the loop function. The text was chosen at random and is taken from Canto IX of Wallace Stevens's 'Notes toward a Supreme Fiction'.

    Sophie Fetokaki 'The Resurrection'

    Holy week on Thassos, an island just south of the Eastern Macedonian mainland. Since congregating is forbidden, religious services are held behind closed doors, delivered by two or three priests and amplified via megaphone speakers mounted on the outer walls of the church. On Good Friday, the bells perform an exquisite work of durational performance art, pealing out the three tones of a minor triad, one tone every four seconds, for six hours. On Easter Sunday, a shortened version of the liturgy, roughly one hour long, resounds throughout the village. On Monday, I go to the hills.

    Andrea Young 'The Voice Index'

    Andrea Young 'The Voice Index' (excerpt) 'The Voice Index' (2015-16) is a fixed sound installation with four live voices, which investigates the fine detail an intense listening experience inherent to the spectral manipulations made possible through voice resynthesis. An experience of increased sensitivity to each partial within the harmonic spectrum is achieved by slowly departing from and returning to the recognition of a human voice. The resynthesized, monophonic voice becomes a polyphonic instrument with dynamic musicality in its micro inflections. This work aims to suggest that human interaction, the act of listening and the imagination constitute the full spectrum of the human voice. Technical research and the compositional possibilities afforded by independent and algorithmic control of each individual partial within the harmonic spectrum of a single vocal utterance is counterbalanced with critical studies in literature surrounding the meaning of voice from philosophical, psychoanalytical and technological perspectives. The “voice-index” (Alice Lagaay, Free University, Berlin) suggests that a plurality of voices – including those in positive and negative aural space – may account for the variation of psychological and physical voices from others and from within. Andrea performed this piece live for us on 16 March 2018, with Jessica Aszodi and Juliet Fraser.
