The Project

WireGriot (re)constructs a repertoire for solo voice that is actively challenged and enhanced by the use of technology through a shared desire to explore the blurry borders of contemporary music. By showing the voice in three stages-highly exposed and alone, manically disguised, and calmly blended within an electronic albeit “natural” surrounding- Cora Schmeiser and Juan Parra seek contrasting ways in which a human voice can be used to express to both the cognitive and intuitive senses.

El Proyecto

Formado en 2006, WireGriot busca (re)construir un repertorio para la voz que sea activamente desafiada y estimulada a través del uso de la tecnología y un deseo común de explorar los límites difusos de la música contemporanea.
Exponiendo a la voz en tres diferenes estados: sola y altamente expuesta, maniacamente oculta y calmadamente inmersa en un entorno 'naturalmente' electrónico, Cora Schmeiser y Juan Parra buscan maneras contrastantes de mostrar cómo la voz puede ser usada para expresar hacia los sentidos, tanto intuitivos como cognitivos.
