Ink (a choral work in five movements by Pamela Z) is a work that unfolds in five sonically distinct movements that variously use standard notation, graphic elements, instructions, and rote transmission of sung and spoken vocal material. Speech fragments from interviews with the Volti singers make up a portion of the sonic structure and determine some of the work’s melodic and rhythmic passages.
In its April 24, 2021 premiere, Ink will be presented as a streaming video featuring the faces and voices of the members of Volti. Saturday, April 24, 2021, 5:30 PM Pacific time.
Volti is offering all of its online concerts this season free of charge. We ask patrons to consider supporting the making of new music with a donation of $25 if you are in a position to do so.
