Roundtable: Verve and Fold: The Voice in Key(words)
Tweet Share
We’ve devised a roundtable of quick-fire keyword entries that take on some of the formidable sounds of our recent past and present, including the soaring fetes of Patti LaBelle and the technological extension of Wendy Carlos. With keywords including vibration, harmony, and synthesized, the presentations will proceed as a continuous conversation in hopes of presenting a dynamic stream of consciousness that can detail the convergences and divergences of the voice and its approximation in the symphonic worlds of the late 20th and 21st century.
