Genre: Sound Art

Out of stock

This is the work of German vocal artist, composer and improviser sound artist Bettina Wenzel which consists in nine pieces created while she was attending as an artist-in-residence in Mumbai, India in 2009. She has studied vocal techniques, contemporary dance and dancetherapy in Europe and has performed her vocal works in Europe, USA and South Asia. On top of the field recordings of street sounds, found objects and religious musical ceremonies Wenzel makes guttural and breathing noises, high tones but also there is space for vocals that reach silence. The vocal sounds are neither composed nor improvised, is the own language of an artist that takes its own risk in her avant-garde proposal.
