Provokalia Choirs |
|||
led by: David MOSS [USA,
GER]
place: Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music |
|||
time: | December 6 (Saturday), 4PM - 7PM | ||
Short, intense vocal pieces,
composed and led by David MOSS, for massed voices
(between 20 and 100). The power and passion of the
human voice is always physical, seductive and
startling. Provokalia Choirs offers a new look at
the sounds of many voices. Each Provokalia Choir
performance is a kaleidoscope of phrases, loops, textures,
timbres, chants and vocal dances.
After one rehearsal the participants will perform Provokalia Choirs at the closing concert of the festival. |

Shaping your Solo |

led by: David MOSS [USA,

place: Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music |

time: | December 6 (Saturday), 11AM - 2PM
December 7 (Sunday), 11AM - 2PM |

What is a vocal solo? Could
it be an architecture of individuality – the
momentary manifestation of personal timing and
eccentric personality that occurs when you deal
with your materials of choice: voice,
body, momentum, movement, text, the musical
thought, instrument, the 5th wall.
And where does a vocal solo come from? Truthfully, a solo is never pureMutations pop up everywhere: memory cells are shared and instant "habits" gain unpredictable momentum & shape. As in life, structures and frameworks act as diving boards, mixing memory, sounds, fantasy, history, desire, context, narrative and timing. Using each person’s own work as a starting point, this workshop includes: singing together and alone– including surprises, limitations, exaggerations, duos, interruptions, pop-up performances, one-minute solos, habits, momentary transgressions, frustration fandangos, the attraction of opposites and elementary ecstasies. We will be together for 3 days in a performance-active workshop centered on the experience of shaping a solo with our voices! Maximum: 16 participants; singers, non-singers, performers, actors, composers, musicians, dancers and poets are welcome to participate; some performance experience is necessary. |

Sonifications
|

led by:
__Stewart COLLINSON [UK] – video __Iain G. ARMSTRONG [UK] – audio place: Trafó Reaktor |
|||
time: | December 4 (Thursday), 2PM - 5PM
December 5 (Friday), 11AM - 2PM December 5 (Friday), 4PM - 6PM December 6 (Saturday), 11AM - 2PM December 6 (Saturday), 3PM - 5PM December 7 (Sunday), 11AM - 2PM |
||
The aim of the workshop is to
create audiovisual works, where visual data can be
used as the means of generating sound by applying
different sonification methods. The participants
will create hand drawn films, which will be
manipulated and sonified digitally.
The workshop will take place in two locations and will be part of a new network collaboration project between University of Lincoln [UK] and University of Pécs [H]. The visual material created by by the participants can be sonified by themselves using a variety of methods, and strategies, and by the other group of participants through means of an exchange of the material via the internet during the workshop, in that way, sharing ideas and creating common pieces. The works created will be presented at the closing concert of the Festival. |
