A Mouth In Search Of A Voice

A very special new performance by composer Jamie Hamilton and Phaedra Ensemble exploring the territory between spoken language and musical sound, made with the voices of people who stammer. Over the past year Jamie has worked with stammerers across the UK, recording their speech as compositional material, which is then collaged, layered and woven into a score for live ensemble, electronics and video. Live strings, bass clarinet, keyboard and electronics play through and around these recordings to the backdrop of a new moving image work in response to the composition.
