Composition | 2019-present
Songs from the Body
Scroll ↓
Songs from the Body is a new work-in-progress which marks the development of Kate’s Embodied Voice practice from the realm of improvisation into the field of composition. Inspired by movements of the body and built upon complete integration of choreography and voice, Songs from the Body encapsulates a range of pieces which bring space, voice, electronics, performer and audience into new and surprising relationships. Often distributed amongst multiple singers and shifting throughout the space, the music establishes a spatial-sonic environment where voice pulsates, jumps, transfers, and merges in unusual confluences. Traversing from melody to sonic textures, dancing between song and landscape, these pieces toe the line between music, dance, and theatre, constantly subverting and delighting expectations.
Kate is currently working towards releasing her first EP from the Songs from the Body series, “Lullabies”, produced by David Joachim Ridley, and released on Lalala Records.
