Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart
Frode Halti Accordion
Rebecca Saunders' Soliloquy and a new work by Rolf Wallin are presented alongside a hcmf// commission from Berlin-based British composer Naomi Pinnock. In Oscillare, cycles of two superimposed texts by WN Herbert and Naomi Pinnock give fragmented glimpses of two atrocities: one mythical, one real. The oscillation develops between the recorded voice and the vocal ensemble, which in turn is pitted antiphonally against the accordion, until these repetitions break and there are no words left.
Produced by hcmf// supported by Goethe-Institut London
