30’ loop/open duration
a performance-installation for voices and handheld audio
commissioned by Kantos and PINK (Manchester)
Croon harvest centres on the voice’s potential to create incredible intimacy in its most hushed, unprojected state, a state within which blemishes, grain, and imperfections ornament the resulting sound. The piece is made up of small, breath-long fragments of vocal sound, with each singer instructed to perform in a way that is closer to humming or mumbling rather than singing in a projected manner.
The piece – a spatialised performance installation – invites a celebration of vacancy, placing gentle vocal lamentations in dialogue with lo-fi recordings of domestic silence taken by the large body of singers that perform the work to create a gentle tapestry of ritualistic activity, soft mumbling and white noise.
