First
of all this project in Sonic Art is a work in progress,
and also a project in collaboration with other artists.
These
pieces are a preliminar approach of what I am going to
do using the human voice reading the poems by the Argentinean
writer Julio Cortázar
mixed with digitally synthesized sound.
The
main object is the human voice in a context similar to
a poetry reading. The structure of the work will be determinated
by the poems, and basically there will be a serie of movements
each one corresponding to a different poem from the antology
"Save Twilight".
Stephanie
Skaff is the voice on the recording, she
is currently studying Acting and Drama in the College-Conservatory
of Music at University of Cincinnati. The photograph was
taken by Lindsay Morgan who is student in the DAAP
department also on UC. Luis
Ianes on the classic guitar playing his
own composition in "If I am to live" was born
in San Juan, Argentina. He is currently pursuing his bachellor
at University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of
Music in Classical Guitar, focusing also in composition.
The
term Sonic Art or Sonic Design is more appropiated to
me in the sense that any discussion about what is music
and what is not would be irrelevant. |
