Vov - Song for a Parallel Universe

Short documentary about Vōv, a composition for voices and electronics, by Eduardo R. Miranda in collaboration with celebrated conlanger, David J. Peterson.

Vōv is a piece for singers and live electronics in three movements, exploring the composer’s research into the origins of language and music. Vōv is also the name of the language invented by one of the world’s most famous language creators, David J. Peterson.

David invented languages for various films and TV programmes, such as the Walt Disney film ‘Thor: The Dark World’ and the language Dothraki, for HBO’s fantasy series ‘Game of Thrones’.

Here Eduardo R. Miranda created a choir of human and virtual performers to sing a poem written in Vōv on the theme of the evolution of love.

The complete recordings of the 3 movements of the concert are available:
