Somewhere. No more. Gone. (Hlas utopený v oceánu ticha Vol. 1)
"Somewhere. No more. Gone." is a set of solo voice pieces by various young composers from around the world. Each of the pieces presents a characteristic approach towards the main compositional aspects of the solo voice phenomenom: the voice, the text and the silence. The project was given the title "Somewhere. No more. Gone." as the words are taken from the compositions themselves and are of a symbolic meaning as they refer to the fragility of any solo voice performance. 00:00 Anselm McDonnell: Threads & Ribbons 06:43 Nuno Costa: Instrepere II 10:23 Federico Kersner: ¿Es un imperio? 16:06 Jan-Willem van Herpen: Rilke Gesänge 24:07 Oktawia Pączkowska: Katatrenia 27:49 Alexandre Jamar: Vegghio, penso, ardo... 36:02 D. Edward Davis: early 40:19 Cullyn Murphy: Everybody should have these. Vojtěch Šembera, baritone Hana Foss, sound director recorded in July 2019 in Brno, Czech Republic https://www.vojtechsembera.com/
