David Lang – hammerspace 8 (2014) for trumpet and voice
Marco Blaauw, trumpet and voice
Janet Sinica, video
Hendrik Manook, sound design
Notes from the score:
“Introspective and painful, the singing is more a grunt than a pitch, and the sung notes may be approximate in pitch and rhythm. The dynamic is generally soft throughout, but the dynamic, phrasing, articulation and even pitch feel unstable.”
David Lang, 2014
