TURNS ECO/EXO: WOLVES AND THROATS

WOLVES AND THROATS brings together one of the most significant vocalists of our time, Elaine Mitchener (MBE), with percussionist and sound ethnographer Pedro Almiro. Mitchener explores the full range of the voice within a dense field of electronic sounds. Almiro crafts a composition from self-recorded wolf howls, immersing us in the choruses of this species. Together, they create a visceral ritual about human and non-human vocal cords, about choir, collective, and howling as lament. 

The new ECO/EXO cycle translates central areas of tension in the present into immersive sound spaces and combines ecological fragility with speculative, extraterrestrial perspectives. Both artistic positions use space as an active compositional element working with multi-layered electroacoustic processes. The concert contrasts two different approaches to material, perception, and time. Together, the works open up new perspectives of listening between body, environment, and imagination.
