Georgina Brett - Live-Vocal Looping
April 2012 .... Hosting a brand new night of Post music.... post-avantegarde, post-minimal, post-ambient, post-neoclassical... Called Tuesdays Post. Launch night 24th April.
January 2012 ..... This is one of my latest offerings, beautiful video by Michael Peters and soundtrack by myself. Good for stressed out days when you just need to chill a bit.....
.....My vocal music is akin to "Rounds" an ancient form of singing.... although only one person makes the music and due to the technology, many vocal variations and experimentations are possible.
Testimonials
"Anyway, I was about to say--it seems most people working with non-traditional vocal music are either harsh and rigorous or New-Age sappy. But you are onto something that is beautiful and emotional, as well as being intellectually satisfying. There just hasn't been a lot of this. It sounds as though you are confident in what you are doing, and willing to take risks, and you have good instincts (and a great voice, which doesn't hurt). That's all, really. Thanks for your music, and keep on keepin' on." HT 22.04.2012
"I got the emotional sense download at the weekend and was able to listen to it this morning. Just wanted to let you know that I thought it was fantastic, something which I'll be able to listen to time and time again, and each time I know I'll find more in it. It has a very meditative quality, it provides a place of peace for the listener, but is never 'easy listening', each track provides a challenge, something which is thought provoking and interesting. I am transported to far away places within my mind, places that are filled with wonder. I am reminded of the work of Henryk Gorecki (Miserere in particular) and Steve Reich, and even Philip Glass, but find that you bring something new which is completely yours. An excellent album, very well done, you are very talented." Lee 28.02.2012
How did i begin this Journey? ...In October 2005 I was at an all-night marathon recording session with 20 or so songwriters and players who wanted to create as much music from scratch as they possibly could in the longest day of the year, when the clocks go forward, so 25 hours. I picked up a mic, hooked up to a couple of delays and the first piece was recorded. It was an improv. between myself and Steve Finnerty of Alabama 3 and was called Work4Me.
...quickly became aware that after decades of experimenting with different music making, this live-looping work contained all the qualities and possibilities of expression I had wanted to concentrate on. Six years in... the variation of musical learning with it keeps me interested: You can go deep into learning a difficult piece such as "Pythagoras" or have the freedom and lightness of improvisational work...
