TAPE
MUSIC
Tape Music è un dispositivo sonoro in cui i performer si passano di mano in mano un nastro sui cui è scritta una partitura di sillabe fonetiche, che ogni partecipante interpreta con suoni vocalici estemporanei. Il nastro lega i performer in un atto collettivo, che si eleva e discende in un canto caotico e ipnotico. Ogni sessione è sempre differente e si forma sul contesto locale che la ospita. Scores for Musarc è stata creata per l’ensemble nel 2015 da Lin Chiwei, sound artist di Taiwan. ll nastro usato, lungo più di 100 m, è stampato a mano da Neil Evensen, architetto e membro di Musarc
The work Tape Music is performed by feeding a long tape into a spiral of singers who create a chant by performing the syllables embroidered or printed on the tape as it passes through their hands. Tape Music materialises the social through sound. It requires no previous learning from the participants. The tape unites performers in a communal speech act, elevating it to a mesmerising song that rises and falls. Tape Music (Score for Musarc) was created by Lin Chiwei for the choir in 2015. The tape, which is more than 100m long, was hand-printed by architect and long-standing member of the ensemble Neil Evensen.

Musarc Choir, fondato da Joseph Kohlmaier alla School of Art, Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University nel 2008, è un ensemble che ha sviluppato una reputazione distinta per il suo approccio interdisciplinare, e per lo spazio che offre agli artisti per sperimentare nuove idee. Dalla sua nascita, il coro ha collaborato con più di cento artisti e compositori, e numerosi festival e organizzazioni artistiche nel Regno Unito e all’estero - compresi i BBC Proms, London Contemporary Music Festival, Palais de Tokyo (Parigi), la Royal Academy, CCA Goldsmiths, Museum of London, Extra City (Anversa), Serpentine Gallery, MK Gallery, Wysing Polyphonic, STUK (Leuwen), Cafe OTO, Bold Tendencies e Whitechapel Gallery.
Musarc is one of the UK’s most progressive choral collectives. Founded by Joseph Kohlmaier at the School of Art, Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University in 2008, the ensemble has developed a distinct reputation for its interdisciplinary and research-led approach to music and performance, and the space it affords artists and singers to experiment with new ideas. Since its inception, the choir has collaborated with more than one hundred artists and composers, and numerous festivals and arts organisations in the UK and abroad – including the BBC Proms, London Contemporary Music Festival, Post Disaster Rooftops EP03 (Taranto, Italy), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), the Royal Academy, CCA Goldsmiths, Museum of London, Extra City (Antwerp), Serpentine Gallery, MK Gallery, Wysing Polyphonic, STUK (Leuwen) Cafe OTO, Bold Tendencies and Whitechapel Gallery.
