KONTRAKLANG: Portraits de voix von Alessandro Bossetti

The portrayed family of voices lives in a sonic universe somewhere between Renaissance polyphony, microtonal texture, and dinner table chatter. The voices have no bodies, each one of them is mother, father, daughter, son, brother and sister of the others. The portraitist and conductor sits in the middle of the audience and is surrounded by the five singers of the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, while the entire space is immersed in a mist of immaterial voices.

Portraits de voix immerses us in seemingly familiar situations that, however, reconfigure themselves again and again. An initially simple intimate situation becomes denser and real dramas play out between the voices: Ties are forged, separations take place, friendships are made, love relationships emerge and pass in fast motion.

Born in Milan in 1973, Alessandro Bosetti is a composer, performer and sound artist who explores the musicality of spoken language, using misunderstandings, translations and interviews as material. His works for voice and electronics blur the boundaries between electroacoustic composition, acoustic writing and performance.
