In 1992 I went around the world with a tape recorder and a microphone to collect the sound of the human voice from all over the planet. I made a composition called Grains of Voices with some but not all the voices I recorded. It was a huge mix where different voices from different places would blend together. Since then I felt that I wanted to give a chance to some of those voices that never made it into the composition. I also wanted to make a piece where each voice would act on its own without blending with others. ReVoiced is based on four different voices going from south to north of the planet. The first one being an aboriginal from Bathurst Island outside the north coast of Australia, the second a Russian woman singing a folk melody, the third a Katakali singer from New Dehli, India and finally a Nåjd (a kind of shaman) from Lapponia in the very north of Sweden chanting a so called jojk. All the sounds in each movement are based and derived exclusively from the voice of that very same movement. The only exception being the strong percussive sound in the end of the last movement. |
