Lip of the real I

Beschreibung
"The title is a quotation from Anne Waldman’s new book IOVIS. It is a subtitle of a part, in which Anne Waldman describes meeting an old colleague of hers. Touching one’s lips to reality? She also mentions that her poetry-students are not allowed to use a combination like this: tangible-put-with-abstraction joined by preposition “of” – and finally raises the rhetorical question: “Does she get away with it?”

LIP OF THE REAL is basically a contemporary solo for voice. The electronic part serves as a compositional extension of the vocalist, creating an audible space around the voice, which maps fictitious mind-activity of the vocalist. Bass drum and some carefully selected percussion parts are added, for sound and context.

The idea and basic concept for this piece originates from three pivotal points."
