The voice is both the instrument and the interface for the live-electronics which is, in turn, infused with “vocality”. Through a demonstration of this tool, a question of vocality is raised: is vocality more than the sum of its features, and if so, does the process of voice lend a greater vocality than the sound of the voice itself? A philosophical, musical and scientific discussion of voice provides both content and form for new works featuring The Digital Voice Interface in live-electronic and chamber ensemble settings."</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-------------The evening performance with CLOrk will take place at:</div><div class="">Department of Music</div><div class="">MB Building, 8th floor, Room 245</div><div class="">Concordia University</div><div class="">1450 Guy Street, MB building, 8th fl., Montreal, Quebec H3H 0A1</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This time, CLOrk takes the form of an electronic big band, with guest soloist Andrea Young, and supporting soloists on laptops, accordion, electric guitar, melodica, baritone sax, double bass, bicycle chimes, and other surprises. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Location: Concordia University, Department of Music</b></div><div class=""><b class="">John Molson Building, 1450 Guy St.</b></div><div class=""><b class="">8th floor, room #245</b></div><div class=""><b class="">Free admission</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">CLOrk members:</div><div class="">Nathaniel Bachelder StPierre, Daniel Bevc, Anthony Caci, Creighton Clark, Aidan Diaz, Sam Donald, Liam Driscoll, AFamiil Irani, Oliver Glen-Carter, Koal Harrison, Gunnar Phaedrus Heiberg, Matt Jacobson, Hoo Shi, Nick Lavigne, Kurtis Mitchell, Partty Pat Pat, Alexandre Paradis, Kasey Pocius, Freddie LaBrash, Kayla Kloud, Dany Armaros, Jevon Voon, Alex Walters, Jay Whatson, Tatum Wilson, Eldad Tsabary (dir.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.leparcmilieux.com/" class="">https://www.leparcmilieux.com/</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://milieux.concordia.ca/" class="">https://milieux.concordia.ca/</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.andrea-young.ca/" class="">http://www.andrea-young.ca/</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.facebook.com/laptoporchestra.ca/" class="">https://www.facebook.com/laptoporchestra.ca/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
