Erin Gee -- Mouthpiece II
Early works by Erin Gee and Michael Finnissy, plus a new work by John Herbert, explore the unique and intricate relationship between text and music. Finnissy's pieces embrace the historical baggage that comes with text setting, Gee disables the text as carrier of meaning, and Herbert's piece experiments with the translation and fragmentation of text.
