Salame On Behalf of Nature As I began working on On Behalf of Nature, I asked myself the question: “how would one create an ecological art work that didn’t make more waste in the world?” Live performances leave no traces except, hopefully, in the minds of audience members. This ephemeral aspect is both poignant and exhilarating. Sometimes though, the desire for novelty and surface excitement leads to buying a lot of new things, spending a great deal of money for an experience that lasts only a few hours. I wondered how one could make an alternative to that. I started thinking about the French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and his notion of “bricolage”: the process of assembling or making something from what is already at hand. In pre-industrial societ- ies, one object could function in many different ways by an act of imagination. We now speak of this process as re-purposing. Yoshio Yabara, the costume designer for On Behalf of Nature, implemented this concept by creating new garments with unique shapes for each performer, fashioned from his or her old clothing. Each costume inherently included aspects of that performer’s personal history contained in the original garments. This idea of spiraling around to the past to make something com- pletely new is also a way of appreciating what is here in the present and working with what we have. The same principle extends to other elements in On Behalf of Nature. One of the early inspirations for On Behalf of Nature was an essay by the poet, Gary Snyder, entitled “Writers and the War Against Nature.” In it he writes about the role of an artist being that of a “spokesperson for non-human entities communicating to the human realm through dance or song.” This act of compassion, of “speaking on behalf of nature,” embodies and gives voice to those forces that often go unrecognized. On Behalf of Nature is a meditation on our intimate connection to nature, its inner structures, the fragility of its ecology and our interdependence. —Meredith Monk All music compositions © Meredith Monk 2012 (ASCAP) Meredith Monk.

    Contact: Sheryl Lynn Thomas [email protected] (415) 633-8802 Press kits SAN FRANCISCO (September 18, 2018) - San Francisco Contemporary Music Players (SFCMP) announces ​ ​ its season-opening concert featuring a celebration of the music of Elliott CARTER on Saturday, October 20, ​ ​ 2018 at the Taube Atrium Theater in San Francisco. The on STAGE Series features large-ensemble ​ ​ ​ ​ contemporary works of the most influential and innovative composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Carter was the grandest of the grand American composers from the 20th century, who lived beyond his 100th birthday and yet wrote music that was fresh, inventive, and forward-looking to the very end of life. SFCMP welcomes its newly arrived artistic director, Eric DUDLEY, with a program featuring three of Carter’s works, including the ​ ​ rhythmically energetic and emotionally powerful Penthode for twenty players. Complementing Carter’s enduring ​ ​ voice will be a wry work by the young American composer, Asher Tobin CHODOS, written for an instrumentation ​ ​ uniquely drawn from Carter’s Penthode, plus Canadian composer Sabrina SCHROEDER’s Bone Games/Shy ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Garden, an essay in the sensuality of noises. The series will begin with our popular How Music is Made ​ ​ Composer Talk and Open Rehearsal with composer Tobin Chodos. Audiences can expect to see a number of compositional voices brought into the mix that have never been a part ​ of the ensemble’s lexicon. This season-opening performance will begin with Asher Tobin Chodos, a young California-based composer who will showcase his world premiere of Big Show, an Elliot Carter-inspired piece ​ ​ commissioned by SFCMP. In his piece Big Show, Chodos exhibits a fresh take on aspects of Carter’s work: ​ ​ “Carter’s endlessly stimulating polyphonic writing has been seen by many as a sort of musical version of an idealized democracy: a harmony that emerges from many dissenting voices.

Like the maverick bebop pianist, they persevere... Their expanding core audience thrives on the group’s impeccable arrangements, terse, angular solos, and devil-may-care attitude. But Monk and the Micros have something else in common as well. Johnston tells a story: “Someone once walked up to Monk and said, “You know, Monk, people are laughing at your music.’ Monk replied, ‘Let ‘em laugh. People need to laugh a little more.” – Richard Gehr, Newsday, New York 1989 “There is immense power and careful logic in the music of Thelonious Sphere Monk. But you might have such a good time listening to it that you might not even notice. …His tunes… warmed the heart with their odd angles and bright colors. …he knew exactly how to make you feel good… The groove was paramount: When you’re swinging, swing some more,” he’d say...” – Vijay Iyer, “Ode to a Sphere,” JazzTimes, 2010 “When I replace Letterman… The band I'm considering…is the Microscopic Septet, a New York saxophone-quartet-plus-rhythm whose riffs do what riffs are supposed to do: set your pulse racing and lodge in your skull for days on end. … their humor is difficult to resist.

  • Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America
    CRUMP, MELANIE AUSTIN. D.M.A. When Words Are Not Enough: Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America. (2008) Directed by Mr. David Holley, 93 pp. Although multiple books and articles expound upon the musical culture and progress of American classical, popular and folk music in the United States, there are no publications that investigate the development of extended vocal techniques (EVTs) throughout twentieth-century American music. Scholarly interest in the contemporary music scene of the United States abounds, but few sources provide information on the exploitation of the human voice for its unique sonic capabilities. This document seeks to establish links and connections between musical trends, major artistic movements, and the global politics that shaped Western art music, with those composers utilizing EVTs in the United States, for the purpose of generating a clearer musicological picture of EVTs as a practice of twentieth-century vocal music. As demonstrated in the connecting of musicological dots found in primary and secondary historical documents, composer and performer studies, and musical scores, the study explores the history of extended vocal techniques and the culture in which they flourished.

  • Between Liminality and Transgression: Experimental Voice in Avant-Garde Performance
    BETWEEN LIMINALITY AND TRANSGRESSION: EXPERIMENTAL VOICE IN AVANT-GARDE PERFORMANCE _________________________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Film Studies in the University of Canterbury by Emma Johnston ______________________ University of Canterbury 2014 ii Abstract This thesis explores the notion of ‘experimental voice’ in avant-garde performance, in the way it transgresses conventional forms of vocal expression as a means of both extending and enhancing the expressive capabilities of the voice, and reframing the social and political contexts in which these voices are heard. I examine these avant-garde voices in relation to three different liminal contexts in which the voice plays a central role: in ritual vocal expressions, such as Greek lament and Māori karanga, where the voice forms a bridge between the living and the dead; in electroacoustic music and film, where the voice is dissociated from its source body and can be heard to resound somewhere between human and machine; and from a psychoanalytic perspective, where the voice may bring to consciousness the repressed fears and desires of the unconscious. The liminal phase of ritual performance is a time of inherent possibility, where the usual social structures are inverted or subverted, but the liminal is ultimately temporary and conservative. Victor Turner suggests the concept of the ‘liminoid’ as a more transgressive alternative to the liminal, allowing for permanent and lasting social change. It may be in the liminoid realm of avant-garde performance that voices can be reimagined inside the frame of performance, as a means of exploring new forms of expression in life.
