DE PLAYER UOEIA III / That Global Glottis
Yodeling is not just a Swiss thing!
Uoeia klinkt als een bijzondere jodelklank. En de glottis: dat is de stemspleet waar geluiden ontstaan. Vergis je niet, ook stemgeluid kan onderhevig zijn aan transformatie!
UOEIA III/ That Global Glottis is een goed gevuld avondprogramma (met lezingen, films en performances) dat zich beweegt op het snijvlak van experimenteel geluid, opera en het fenomeen jodelen: de stemtechniek waarbij geschakeld wordt van borst- naar kopstem.
Bart Plantenga (NL), Bernhard (Beny) Betschart (CH) & Karin Gwerder (CH), Myriam van Imschoot (BE), Doreen Kutzke e.a. zullen ons hun bijzondere kunde van dit wereldwijd fenomeen zullen tonen.
Language no problem
Programme:
- Bart Plantenga (NL) will present a lively video lecture, which will cover many corners of the yodeling world.
- Voice artist Phil Minton (UK) is known for his exuberant and provocative vocals, which often includes his trademark avant-garde version of Welsh yodeling with that glottal twist. He'll surprise you with his yodel version of John Cage's famous Mesostics.
- Bernhard Betschart (CH) and Karin Gwerder (CH) present 'naturjodels' from their native Muotathal in Switzerland, where yodeling is passed on from generation to generation. Bernhard's father appeared in some of Hugo Zemp's famous yodel documentaries and Cyrill Schläpfer's Ur-Musig. He will give a demonstration of various Yuutzes.
- Myriam van Imschoot (BE) & Doreen Kutzke (DE) perform "HOLA HU", a duet composition for 2 yodelers in which a yodel phrase is consistently deconstructed and reconstructed from its smallest micro-elements.
- Myriam Van Imschooot presents YOUYOUYOU, a performance in which 10 Brussels women sing the arabic yodel, the zaghareet (in french 'you you'). Quite a hallucinating situation!
Organisation: Beursschouwburg together with de player Rotterdam
