Performance by Roland Peelman, The Song Company from the CD MODART07
Product details
"Uisce", meaning "water" in Irish, is an installation for voices where the voices tumble over each other like water falling. The performers read the score in a unique way so that each perormer forges an individual pathway through the piece like a current of water in a river. The score is a visual artwork set out on five ceiling to floor panels representing a waterfall.
This piece, written at the Inishlacken artist in residence in Ireland, curated by Rosie MacGurran, was premiered by The Song Company in 2007 during Modart07, a composer development project held by The Song Company in association with the Australian Music Centre.
Published by: Australian Music Centre — 1 facsimile score (35p. -- A4 (portrait))
