A Song for Europe:

Gwilly Edmondez and Richard performed A Song for Europe at the AVFest08 in Newcastle University's CultureLab on March 1st and 2nd. This work took the form of a performance installation, based on Artaud's 'To have done with the judgement of God', using extended vocal techniques and digital processing. This piece will be developed further and presented elsewhere. [Part of the 'Music and Machines VIII: Broadcast' conference.] An excellent video by David Float can be found at http://www.musicfilmbroth.com .
