Holy week on Thassos, an island just south of the Eastern Macedonian mainland. Since congregating is forbidden, religious services are held behind closed doors, delivered by two or three priests and amplified via megaphone speakers mounted on the outer walls of the church.

On Good Friday, the bells perform an exquisite work of durational performance art, pealing out the three tones of a minor triad, one tone every four seconds, for six hours.

On Easter Sunday, a shortened version of the liturgy, roughly one hour long, resounds throughout the village.

On Monday, I go to the hills.

The Fringe and Underground Music Group at Goldsmiths launched a pamphlet/printed edition series entitled Spaces of Making on 11 May 2018.

Based broadly on themes of physical, digital, social and conceptual/ideological space, the first run of pamphlets featured contributions from artists and musicians Charles Hayward, Marlo De Lara, Sharon Gal and Richard Phoenix.

The launch event for the pamphlet series, co-hosted by The Lumen Lake, was held in the Lewisham Arthouse. www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=11547

Andrea Young 'The Voice Index' (excerpt)

'The Voice Index' (2015-16) is a fixed sound installation with four live voices, which investigates the fine detail an intense listening experience inherent to the spectral manipulations made possible through voice resynthesis.

An experience of increased sensitivity to each partial within the harmonic spectrum is achieved by slowly departing from and returning to the recognition of a human voice. The resynthesized, monophonic voice becomes a polyphonic instrument with dynamic musicality in its micro inflections. This work aims to suggest that human interaction, the act of listening and the imagination constitute the full spectrum of the human voice.

Technical research and the compositional possibilities afforded by independent and algorithmic control of each individual partial within the harmonic spectrum of a single vocal utterance is counterbalanced with critical studies in literature surrounding the meaning of voice from philosophical, psychoanalytical and technological perspectives. The “voice-index” (Alice Lagaay, Free University, Berlin) suggests that a plurality of voices – including those in positive and negative aural space – may account for the variation of psychological and physical voices from others and from within.

Andrea performed this piece live for us on 16 March 2018, with Jessica Aszodi and Juliet Fraser.

In which eavesdropping host Juliet Fraser talks to violist Raghad Haddad about starting again, music as a safe space and her many community music projects.
