Ink (a choral work in five movements)
Ink 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 choristers 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, the streaming video featuring the faces and voices of the members of Volti was presented online.
