#3403: Mostly Wordless Vocal Music
This New Sounds program consists of some mostly wordless vocal pieces, from Philip Glass to Roomful of Teeth, and vocalist and tape loop manipulator, Juliana Barwick. Listen to the Glass score to Koyanisqatsi, and anexcerpt called “Vessels” featuring the Western Wind Vocal Ensemble. Then Roomful of Teeth sings a work by Judd Greenstein working in Tibetan-style overtone/undertone chanting, yodeling, and hocketing.
There’s also music by Eve Beglarian from her River Project, and a song, “I am really a very simple person," together with multi-instrumentalist Mary Rowell. Plus, in the Meredith Monk work, “Three Heavens and Hells,” Monk and the Vocal Ensemble concentrate on sounds, rather than words.
