Residency: In Conversation

Communication between the two, that musical communication above all, is the focus of the duet consisting of clarinetist Lori Freedman and vocalist Vesna Pisarović. Pisarović's musical language includes jazz vocabulary and extended vocal techniques, while Freedman's music is influenced by the musical idioms of 20th century music with her own specific bass clarinet sound techniques. During the one-week artistic residency at KONTEJNER the musicians are trying to find a common musical vocabulary of the newly created duo through mutual musical acquaintance. Starting from a joint performance, listening, conversation, playing, recording, listening, playing, talking, listening, analysing, ... Through the duo's new vocabulary, they develop an understanding of what they are trying to communicate in sound - both to each other and to their listeners.

This artist residency is part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union, and Lori Freedman's European tour is co-funded by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec.
