ODG243 : music for hiccups / songs from the ground

 



ODG243 : music for hiccups / songs from the ground

music for hiccups is a duo composed of Brussels-based musicians Chiara Bacci and Nicola Lancerotti.

The improvised music they create centers around a continuous dialogue between modified voice and modular synthesizers. In their performances, the roles they play are intentionally left undefined: sometimes the voice can become an abstract disturbing sound, while modular synths can create melodic textures and often they are intertwined in a manner that blurs the lines between them.

Nicola Lancerotti: Modulars, electronics
Chiara Bacci: voices, effects, electronics

Chiara Bacci is a Brussels-based singer and composer. Her way of using the voice combined with electronics plays a fundamental role in her practice as it allows her to develop an idea of vocality which is no longer necessarily anchored to its traditional function, as she passes nimbly from being a storyteller to a source of abstract sounds.
