"Open Platform" Reading Room, Wellcome Collection Performers: Voice - Nicole Trotman Voice - Sara Rodrigues Voice - Rodrigo Camacho Performed in 2014 at: “The Rest is Noise” Upstairs at the Ritzy, London “A Way Home” The LivingRoom projects, London “New Music Day” PureGold Festival, London Performers: Voice - Milena Mateus Voice - Sara Rodrigues Voice - Rodrigo Camacho The piece is formally a deconstruction of 22 online dictionary definitions of the word ‘stone’. The singers read these in a rhythmic pattern and intonating some words, whilst the text repeats itself. Every time the words deteriorate further into syllables and onomatopoeias, with expression marks being given particular articulations, from air pressure to mouth contractures. Gestures are also used to represent the numbers and as a guideline, while the words conjure various meanings and non-meanings between them. In the meantime sand is slowly taken out of the performers pockets, sounding until its end. |
