Thou single wilt prove none : for voice and electronics / Roderik de Man

Description:
The electronic part is based on samples taken from the voice of Fanny Alofs and aims to provide a musical trajectory giving the performer a gamut of vocal possibilities. Starting from a “vocalise” like episode, the piece explores contrasting colours, characteristics and atmospheres and makes use of jazz techniques like scat and improvisation. The title refers to the fact that, in music, even in a solo piece, one voice or element is always dependent on another.
