Electro-Acoustic Orchestra
Quarantine: A Telematic nO(t)pera
by Doug Van Nort
created for the Electro-Acoustic Orchestra (EAO), for the virtual space of connected isolation, for Casper the cat, and for self-sanity. It is not an Opera, but it is not not an Opera. It is a composition for musical, visual and virtual engagement. Using pre-composed palettes that integrate text, graphics, Soundpainting and software instruments, augmented with additional real-time composition via EAO’s unique Soundpainting conducting. Developed over months of regular online rehearsals.

Mopomoso Digital 5
Guitarist John Russell's London club Mopomoso, for improvised music, went online in 2020. This is my contribution to the October edition. I've been sheltering by the sea on Long Island and enjoying the sound of voices far out at sea - plus I'd bought a hydrophone and wanted to see how it recorded my singing underwater ...

An online gig at The Horse Club, London in May got this very nice review in The Wire:
Fragments of her voice flicker like the light bouncing over water in her video, later drifting into ambiguous urban sound, a backdrop for her intermittent vocal solo. It’s a gorgeous, calming piece, new age in the best sense.”

WALKER INSIDE (singing the walks we can’t do in the pandemic)
on Resonance FM radio, London
A one-hour programme of tales by walkers and singing in which I restyled my longterm project “Shadow-walks” (see website page) to suit the times. Instead of accompanying a person on their chosen walk I gathered recorded descriptions of walks and my singing reflects how I imagined them. I called them Shadow-walks (at home).
Walkers are Geert Vermeire in the Alps, Amanda Gutierrez in Abu Dhabi, Rick Wilson in Wales, Yang Yeung in Hong Kong and Catherine Clover in Australia.
DURING THE PANDEMIC I've kept busy- making work for radio shows, compilation albums, walking art projects and an artist talk for the organisation "Walk Listen Create"
I perform regularly on Zoom with NowNet Lab Ensemble led by Sarah Weaver, who has worked with telematic performance for years. And I'm part of Doug Van Nort's Electro-Acoustic Orchestra who perform bi-weekly. Below is an example of a solo show I did for Iklectik, London.

The Cow Stubbornly Stands
While in Bangalore, I began reading books by local women writers. When a book mentioned a place I went there and read an excerpt out loud, and sang with the sounds I heard there. This show combines stories, improvised singing, environmental sounds and my own experiences.

Listening for Pauline and IONE

Dream Festival,
Fair John ArtSpace, Kingston NY
I wrote this work while on an artist residency at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice in March 2019. It’s based on Pauline Oliveros and Ione’s previous experiences there, at the same residency. I followed their footsteps, trying to sense their traces and their listening presence in Venice. This is its second public performance, in Pauline and Ione’s hometown.
Performers: Jonas and Joshua Brasch, Viv Corringham, Susie Ibarra, Lisa Barnard Kelley, Al Margolis & Peter Wetzler.

Shadow-walks in Prespes
Walking Practices/Walking Art/Walking Bodies International Encounters/Conference, Prespes, Greece
Prespes is a national park in a remote part of Greece at the borders of Albania and North Macedonia. I met with many other artists with a walking practice and made another in my Shadow-walks series, which I performed live at the Byzantine Museum there and will use the recordings as basis for a new sound work.

Another outing for “Shattered Song Shadow City,” my piece for 6 channels with live voice. It started out as a Harvestworks commission for NY Electronic Festival at Issue project Room. It’s based on walking with lots of people in different countries in 2016, when most people had troubled tales to tell me. Seems that still resonates- in 2018 I performed it in festivals and venues in Hong Kong, Taipei, Shantou China, London and Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore, India.

New Release
Until I Learn the Language of Vegetable Mineral
6 Concerts in London, including the label Linear Obsessional’s Loudspeaker Orchestra Concert at St Alfege Church, Greenwich, where I launched my new cassette release.
Reviews of Until I Learn the Language of Vegetable Mineral:
“songs for the human inhabitants of planet earth from an idiosyncratic observer”
“she croons, like Annette Peacock teleported into an Arthur Machen story while a warped choir moans and gurgles behind her.”
Viv Corringham: She is a vocalist, currently based in New York, who has the most extraordinary voice. Whilst she does all the experimental extended technique stuff, she also has a voice trained in folk and world music and has a fantastic sense of melody and can be very moving. Her cassette Until I Learn the Language of Vegetable Mineral is reassuringly bonkers.
