Music Pieces for Voice Piece

Evgenija Wassilev: Music Pieces for Voice Piece for Bass, Tenor and Baritone (after Voice Piece for Soprano by Yoko Ono), 2016

The work is based on a re-interpretation and translation of the instruction piece Voice Piece for Soprano by Yoko Ono, performed by musicians, in tribute to Yoko Ono’s piece and interpretation. The voice piece performances were transcripted into music sheets, using the algorithm of a note recognition program. The performers interpret the musical notation of the translated screaming into a music piece on his instrument, extending its possibilities for the unplayable parts of the scores by using tactile parts of the instrument, voice or respiration sounds.
