Ensem­ble VOICE X

VOICE X is a new ensem­ble initia­ted and led by com­po­ser per­for­mer and voice artist Ute Was­ser­mann and con­sists of Ber­lin-based expe­ri­men­tal vocal impro­vi­sers with various back­grounds as sin­gers, cho­reo­graph­ers, sci­en­tists, musi­ci­ans, visu­al artists, desi­gners. The ensem­ble explo­res the various facets of impro­vi­sa­ti­on, from con­cep­tu­al impro­vi­sa­ti­on to free impro­vi­sa­ti­on, focu­sing on the infi­ni­te tim­bres of the human voice as a fle­xi­ble, extre­me and sur­pri­sing sound instru­ment. With Hyper­Pho­nia VOICE X will explo­re the rever­berant acou­stic pro­per­ties of Café Babet­te – its magni­ficence and fra­gi­li­ty – due to its til­ted walls and extre­me height of 20 m. Vocal sculp­tures moving through space and spe­ci­fic vocal cha­rac­ters are crea­ted using a wide ran­ge of vocal expres­si­ons, from screams to gasps and whis­pers, from vibra­ting cho­ral clus­ters to soloi­stic inter­lu­des. Hyper­Pho­nia acti­va­tes the acou­stic space of Cafe Babet­te, invi­ting it to beco­me a musi­cal co-performer
