LOD, Ghent
During the first workshop in December 2013, the composers worked with the four highly experienced singers of VOCAALLAB (high soprano, mezzo/alto, low tenor, baritone) and Eva Reiter (viola da gamba, Paetzold bass recorder) on these pieces. The singers also presented topics from older and contemporary repertoire, in order to study and compare this material, to share their experiences, and show them different ways of singing and writing for the voice, including topics like the use of text, the different styles of vocalization (from bel canto to traditional or popular voices, world music, noises and new sounds made possible by amplification, the voice as pure instrument, speaking and transitioning from speaking to singing).
This workshop included a lecture by Wouter Snoei, regarding the question of how to use electronics in relation to voice.
