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.

This is a photograph that I took when I was exploring eyes.
My work is within the genre of portraits as the subject is an infants face. I was very interested in this model as his eyes were a deep blue and easily showed beautiful patterns without having to look closely. The other colours in the image such as his clothes also help to emphasise the model's eyes as they're also blue.
I think that this is a successful photo as although there is a lot in the frame, you are instantly drawn into the eyes as the focal point.
When capturing this photograph I took into consideration the composition. Using the rule of thirds I thought about what man colours used: blue, red, skin colour, and also how many parts leave the frame such as the models head and each side of the body.
I ensured that the subject of matter was not central to prevent the image from looking basic. As you can see by the grid, I captured the image so that the model was not looking straight ahead and the face was slightly to the left. If I hadn't taken this into consideration the photograph would not be unique. As this is an extreme close up, it is not clear to pick out a background, midground and foreground.
Composition No. 1, by Marc Saporta (2011, Visual Editions). Acquired 1 October, 2011; purchased at Shakespeare and Company, Paris.
(This is a very beautiful reprint of Saporta's 1962 novel-in-a-box, consisting of 150 loose, unnumbered pages that can be read in any order.)
