In conjunction with Jeanine Oleson’s exhibition “Hear, Here” (April 23–July 6), guest music curator Cori Ellison (Dramaturg at Glyndebourne Festival Opera and previously at New York City Opera, 1997–2010) has organized a series of musical events exploring the possibilities of the operatic voice by placing it in nontraditional contexts.
For her appearance at the New Museum, Kristin Norderval presents a selection of works for voice and laptop with a focus on live vocal sampling and real-time audio processing. The program will also include selections from Aural Histories, as well as structured improvisations and several works utilizing sounds recorded from discarded and decaying pianos.
