Lea Bertucci & Ben Vida »My Words Came Out Slow and Odd«

For voice, electronics, trumpet & snares, ca. 20 - 25' (UA)

In their performance at ZKM, Lea Bertucci and Ben Vida present a multi-channel adaptation of their new work "My Words Came Out Slow and Odd", a text-based composition for voices and electronics, trumpet and reeds. This work pushes the boundaries of language and intelligibility, expanding the human voice through creative electronic processing while exploring the threshold between sense and nonsense. What new forms of communication emerge when language is in a constant state of morphology? How quickly can we recalibrate to allow the projection of complex meanings onto abstractions? "My Words Came Out Slow and Odd" is a clattering, psychedelic swirl of heteroglossic smudges and stutters.
