Meredith Monk
Born:
Meredith Monk is a composer, singer, director/choreographer and creator of new opera, music theater works, films and installations. A pioneer in what is now called "extended vocal technique" and "interdisciplinary performance," Monk creates works that thrive at the intersection of music and movement, image and object, light and sound in an effort to discover and weave together new modes of perception. Her groundbreaking exploration of the voice as an instrument, as an eloquent language in and of itself, expands the boundaries of musical composition, creating landscapes of sound that unearth feelings, energies, and memories for which we have no words
Theo Bleckmann: Love and Anger
by Angelo Leonardi
Nella ristretta cerchia dei cantanti jazz maschili Theo Bleckmann s'è distinto per la cifra eclettica che l'ha portato a spaziare in quasi ogni ambito musicale: dagli standard del songbook statunitense alla sperimentazione vocale, dal pop al gospel, dal rock alla classica. Residente a New York dall'età di 23 anni, dopo gli studi di canto jazz in Germania ...
Biennale Musica 2025 a Venezia
by Libero Farnè
Biennale Musica 2025 Varie sedi Venezia 11--25 ottobre 2025 Si è scritto fin troppo sulla Biennale Musica 2025. Si sono contrapposti pareri pro e contro, alcuni di evidente tenore fazioso. Soprattutto, si è cercato di sottolineare il dirottamento delle scelte programmatiche rispetto alle impostazioni del passato, cosa che ha comportato una ...
Savina Yannatou: Letting the Voice Go Where It Goes
by Katchie Cartwright
Savina Yannatou flies through vast reaches of space and time as she works, like the swallows and warblers who traverse the Sahara, stopping in Greece on their annual pilgrimage to breeding grounds in the North, thousands of miles away. She is an artist “beyond category," to borrow Duke Ellington's phrase, whose programs and performances combine Mediterranean ...
Sam Gendel: Cookup
by Scott Gudell
Saxophonist Sam Gendel has sent out an invitation to an unusual sonic Cookup. So what is he serving? Who will be there? Will beat poets merge with experimental musicians in a smoky jazz grotto? Will it be a cryptic musical labyrinth or a collection of meandering songs? Is it a transcription of ancient African organic rhythms ...

Sophie Tassignon: Mysteries Unfold
by Angelo Leonardi
Un disco di voce femminile con effetti elettronici e sovraincisioni, spinge i nostri schemi mentali ad associarlo alla sperimentazione vocale degli ultimi tre decenni, ai lavori di Diamanda Galas, Cathy Berberian o Meredith Monk. Pur seguendo una chiara linea di ricerca, questo disco in solo della belga Sophie Tassignon si distingue invece per ricchezza ...

The Archive of Contemporary Music
by Karl Ackermann
In Lower Manhattan, sits a musical gold mine. It's the motherlode of recorded music though the small, brightly colored sign above a grey steel door provides only a cryptic clue. The dusty window display of rare 78 RPM records, broken into erratic pie charts serves as a vestige of the past and a cautionary tale about ...
