I perform in the GBO: Homelistening series with Carol Genetti (voice), Friday, June 19 at…

Carol and I have been performing together since 1997. Our first CD, Animus was released in 1998, and is perhaps unique for its use of voice and Springboard, an invented instrument that employs coil springs, rubber bands, bowed wood in order to produce a surprising range of timbres and microtones.

About Carol Genetti:

Carol Genetti is a vocalist, composer and installation artist. Her work is focused on the interplay between the voice as an expressive musical instrument and its extension into the sound-making realm. She has studied a variety of techniques including Western singing, Hindustani classical voice and Bulgarian folk music. Through these studies and her own explorations, she has developed a personal yet universal palette that is an abstraction of “extended” voice sounds - breaths, overtones, and disconnected textual bits, squeaks, growls, non-verbal tones - sounds that evoke unconscious emotions and human physicality.
