Augmented Vocality Blog
The blog for our AHRC-funded research project, Augmented Vocality: Recomposing the Sounds of Early Irish and Old Norse, is now up and running, thanks to the work of project research assistant Dr Joe Wright. During the project, different members of the research team will post articles about their work. Watch this space!
Working with Actors
In May 2021, the Augmented Vocality team worked with Irish and Icelandic actors to make spoken-word recordings of the poetry that we will analyse for the next phase of the project. More information about this phase of Augmented Vocality will soon be published on the project blog.
Sound and Music New Voices recording Sessions, Dance Development and Live Electronics
In the spring of 2021, work continued on my Different Islands composition project. The Ligeti Quartet recorded the work-in-progress in February, and Victor Fung (choreographer) worked with dancer Chloe Katherine Hillyar to develop the dance part of the project. Dr James Dooley worked on the development of the live electronics. More information about the project will soon be available via Sound and Music, the UK charity for new music, who have supported this work.
