Sample an original dance score by Angélica Negrón and French vocalist/composer Muriel Louveau, new music by London-based composer Anna Meredith, and music by French producer Malibu.
Listen to collaborative music by Puerto Rican composer Angélica Negrón and French vocalist/composer Muriel Louveau for Choreographer Tiffany Mills’s Not then, not yet. Reflecting on the idea of being in between, Negrón blends live processing of Louveau’s extreme vocal registers and whispers along with acoustic classical instrumentation and found sounds into a curious electro-acoustic soundworld. The collaborative dance piece with live score runs Nov. 13-16 at the Flea Theater in NYC. (Plus, see Angélica Negrón with the band Balún from a Soundcheck Podcast session, in-studio.)
Also, hear “technicolour maximalism” from London-based composer Anna Meredith (her Bandcamp) whose most recent record, FIBS, serves up “joyfully irreverent” art pop-leaning new music bangers, and mysteriously percolating robo-explorations of stringed instruments made of both acoustic and electronic sounds.Then, hear the floating whispers set in Lynchian spacy dream-pop by New York-based Australian vocalist, musician and soundscaper Penelope Trappes.
Listen to French producer Malibu's atmospheric, filmic layers of cello (by Oliver Coates), and vocal contributions from Julianna Barwick. It’s from Malibu’s debut record, One Life, which was commissioned as a Joyful Noise white label release by Barwick. Then, hear music by Julianna Barwick from her release, Will.
Plus, there’s new music from composer, fiddler and electronic musician Dan Trueman for a dream team of JACK Quartet and So Percussion, from his recent record, Songs That Are Hard to Sing. And more.
