Snow

Snow is a short sound work, which fuses soaring choral music and poetic storytelling. Featuring the voice of legendary New York performer Peggy Shaw and the flute of virtuoso Yukihiro Isso, words and music unlock the world of a traveller who finds herself thrown into darkness under the snow.

In this poetic monologue, inspired by the restless spirits in Japanese Noh Theatre, sung and spoken word are fused. The enveloping sound mix offers multiple audio perspectives, from the intimacy of the spoken text whispered in your ear, to the soaring choral song which conjures an expansive audio landscape.

Snow was one of three short pieces shown as part of The Transformative Power of Mugen Noh during Noh Reimagined Festival at Kings Place, London on Saturday 30 June 2018.
