Product details
When We Speak for solo cello and electroacoustic track
seeks to comment on broader issues surrounding gender inequality
and these considerations on my compositional practice. Throughout
the work the interweaving of many 'voices' is present in: my own
musical language, the music and speech of respected Finnish
composer, Kaija Saariaho, the expression of the live cellist and
their own literal voice. This, at times semi-improvised cello
part, weaves its way through an atmospheric soundscape
challenging and questioning the role of the live musician to
blend in, fight against or rise above the sound world. The
accompanying recorded musical sounds are extracted from
Saariaho's own compositions, with special weight placed upon
manipulated excerpts from the solo cello work Sept
Papillons.
