Nina Guo & Evelyn Saylor, Fundamental Ornamental (2024) (UA)Tue Nov 19 | Doors 20:00 | Concert 20:30
KM28, Karl-Marx-Straße 28, Berlin
Composers/vocalists Nina Guo and Evelyn Saylor premiere their cycle Fundamental Ornamental. In a reversal of the roles of ornament and primary material, they isolate and manipulate specific ornaments, including trills, melismatic patterns, glissandi, and extended vocal techniques, and together develop a musical language that culturally redefines ornament as substance.
Through the recontextualization of common gestures and the use of juxtapositions, they create surprising scenarios and raise questions about the production of meaning through musical idiom and context, about time and pitch perception, and about the possibilities and limitations of the vocal apparatus.
