The human voice is a rich source for sound transformation and artists have developed numerous idiosyncratic ways of dealing with the voice, and text, as raw materials for sound art.  The second SoundScape collection features works that include text, vocalizations, proto-language and their transformations.

 

Like each of the SoundScapes, this set includes works specifically selected for presentation by Roger Reynolds, Joji Yuasa, Trevor Wishart, Paul Lansky, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Luciano Berio.  Other works in the set are drawn from the numerous submissions to the Pulse Field project from around the world and include works by Paul Rudy, Christian Calon, Brian Belet and others.
