There is quite a shortage of new music solo repertoire for low voices.
I am a bass-baritone, so this means less cool music to chew on for me!
Perhaps you can help?
We can talk about some extended vocal techniques such as different metal screams, inhalatory singing, overtone singing, other guttural techniques („throat singing“), combinations like whistling & singing at the same time etc.
As an inspirational starting point, I can show some of the extended voice techniques used in Peter Maxwell Davies‘ „Eight Songs for a Mad King“ and what’s possible in Cage’s „Aria“.
(But hey, this is VERY OLD MUSIC! Could we please move on?)
If you are curious what this instrument (i. e. a low male voice) can do and might want to write for it (i. e. for me and the other basses/bassbaritones out there), please feel free to join and try out some ideas!
If you cannot join but would be interested in writing something for bassbaritone (+ electronics/piano/organ/cello/percussion/airplane/), feel free to write to mail@pascalzurek.de or reach out to @pascal.zurek.voice
Looking forward to seeing you!
PS: If you are interested in how to develop your speaking voice (especially as a non-singer), I am having a talk about that on Tuesday!
