Musikhuset Aarhus, Rytmisk Sal

We live in an age when the voice can be proliferated, identified, silenced, captured, and reproduced with increasing speed and precision. Despite their lack of singing, the pieces on this concert employ a myriad of tactics for engaging with the contemporary voice and potential problems that occur around subjects and their identities. Imitative calls for political action, degradative censorship, expressive utterances, and the composer’s own voice are all abound in this collection of works.

Elizabeth Shearon [NO] – I Want You To Panic

Þórður Hallgrímsson [IS] – Meditation on the Age of Rubbish
