ABOUT

Angela Wingerath studied opera and recital singing from 1998 to 2004 at the University of Arts, Berlin.

Through collaborations with composers for new music during her academic studies she started to explore experimental vocal techniques. Her performing takes place in the broad range between classical singing and experimental voice expression. Besides the recital singing she is particularly interested in modern music and free improvisation.

Her many-sided means of expression has led her to a variety of different musical and acting contexts. Besides national and international interdisciplinary performances, engagements at the Deutsches Theater and Berliner Ensemble and in concerts of free improvised music she has sung several premiers of modern experimental music. In this context she worked together with composers like
Michael E. Edgerton), Kent Olofsson, Alex Nowitz, Zorka Wollny and Amir Shpilman.

– Glottal Whistle –

we assume that the vocal folds are more or less in a mostly adducted and stationary position –

when the folds allow a slight leakage of air through a mostly closed glottis, then a vortex-

induced disturbance on the airstream may develop at the upper edges of the vocal folds.

Not only is the timbre unique, but more importantly,

is capable of producing up to four (or more) independent frequency contours,

and thus produce a multi-voice counterpoint within a single face.

M.Edgerton, “The 21st century voice”

AV Festival 08 presented the world premiere of this new work by musical innovator Michael Edgerton reflecting journeys and traffic movement. A Marriage of Shadows is a modern classical composition for voice, flute, saxophone, guitar and percussion focusing on new sounds within complex structures. The work is formally influenced by the study of networks — in this case, the roadmap of Middlesbrough and the surrounding area. Part of the process involved mapping the routes between one central location in Middlesbrough and five other places in the surrounding Tees Valley. These were then placed under a series of circular grids with nodal points generating data to determine pitch, rhythm and gesture. Additional information was gleaned from the work involved in building the new Phoenix Building (the University’s Institute for Digital Innovation) and the resulting traffic congestion.
