Abstract
“I Speak Music” is a project dedicated to using natural speaking voice as an instrument type in music. We would like to assume that all musicians, no matter what instruments they used to play, can use their natural speaking voice ( as opposed to singing voice) as an instrument. It is our inaugural concert of this project showcasing our speaking voices’ potential and capacity in solo, duos, ensembles and improvisations.
Featuring works by Kurt Schwitter, Luciano Berio, Beat Furrer, Erin Gee, Rick Burkhardt, Ryan Krause, OUTLAW, Bryan Jacobs, Ryan Pratt, Yeung-Ping Chen, Pablo Santiago Chin, Viola Yip, Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh and David Bird.
Performers: Viola Yip, Russell Greenberg, Greg Chudzik, Cadillac Moon Ensemble, Laura Cocks, Charlotte Mundy, Ellery Trafford, Tristan McKay, Ryan Krause and Dave Broome.
