Event Description

Voice ++ is Open Space’s festival that focuses on the exploration of the human voice and its intersection with sound and music. Voice++ 2015 will feature the work of Tomomi Adachi, Janice Jackson, and Erik Bünger.

Tomomi Adachi will host a workshop on the voice and body. The workshop will investigate collective performance with the voice and body movements and will work on finding connections of voice with visibility, tactility and acoustic of space and body. Participants are not required any musical skill, dancers and visual artists are welcome.

On Friday, Adachi will present a mix program with his own and historical sound poetry, internet-based performance and composition/improvisation with self-made electronics and voice. He extends possibilities of music and poetry with very intense, physical and conceptual way.

Saturday’s concert Echoes of Time is a Canadian program of contemporary vocal music written in the past 20 years. All of the music in this program is theatrical, powerful, and engaging. The music contains bel canto singing, extended vocal techniques, improvisation, ritualistic movement, and exemplifies the music which Janice Jackson has specialized in over the past 25 years. This concert will include a performance of Sandy Moore’s Echoes of Time Weeping, a mini-opera based on the Mexican myth of La Llorona.

On Sunday afternoon Open Space will host Erik Bünger’s performative lecture The Third Man: part of a series of works on the human voice in relationship to recording technology, music and language. The Third Man includes his childhood memories of discovering a music box to watching the Sound of Music however, it is in fact an exploration of the negative power of music. Displacing and recombining familiar material, Bünger challenges the separation between authentic and simulated experiences.

“The links [Bünger] makes between Kylie Minogue and zombies – between popular melodies and the Pied Piper of Hamelin – are not only novel but also witty in a subtle way.” – Thibaut de Rugter frieze-magazin.de
