CHANT / II / ANTI-PHONES

The second section of CHANT is built around call and response. Kari Francis and I co-composed this section by exploring combinations of mostly percussive consonants and vowels, building a ritualistic soundscape. The electronics also bring together the old and the new, as if we are reaching back toward rituals while trying to find new ways of exploring them. The floor, too, becomes part of that exchange. Through audio-reactive projection design, it responds to the singers’ calls, turning the space itself into another voice in the conversation.

I wanted the title to hold a little of that history of antiphonal singing, but also to feel slightly displaced and contemporary: ANTI-PHONE.

CHANT/IV/PROTESTS

This is a snippet of the fourth section of CHANT, where we explored chanting as a call for action or protest. The sound for this section is a collage of transformed sounds from actual protests and speeches, along with the sounds of whistles played live by the dancers.

I am especially happy with the floor projection in this section, which makes the floor a living and moving character itself. It is paired with the extremely brilliant choreography by Dionne and Andy Noble and beautifully lit by Bryan Ealey.

I am finally sitting down with the video of Chant. And I realized I don’t want to share it all at once. I want to share little pieces of it, day by day, and let you slowly enter the world we made together.
This is the third movement of Chant, and maybe one of the sections I feel closest to, because I play live on my roli keys. Here, we begin to enter the space between people, how they move toward one another, pull away, listen, respond, and just exist together.

There is something almost mysterious about beginning with an idea that exists only as a possibility, then watching it slowly take shape through many people’s imaginations.

CHANT has been exactly that. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who brought their voice, curiosity, trust, and imagination into this work. What we made belongs to all of us.

Deep gratitude to these amazing collaborators:

Still living, learning, and experimenting… Sometimes, even creatives need time to digest what they’ve created. After the premiere of CHANT, and finally exposing myself to the full render of the recorded experience, hearing how audiences and our critics observed the piece, I feel that my collaborators and I made something very brave, as @andymnoble said after our first run.
The piece feels so integrated in all aspects of it that it feels like it is none of our voices, yet all of us at the same time. I think that is the power of deeply involved collaboration, and of inviting collaborators inside our creative silos, even when it feels scary, unpredictable, and sometimes far from the original vision.
CHANT is unique, humane, and transformative for me as an observer, not only as one of its creators.
If you are in Houston, you have two more chances to experience it with us.

Cooking up the floor projection for #CHANT, a new interdisciplinary work I’ve been developing with my wonderful collaborators @andymnoble & @sparkmannoble, with vocal direction and co-composition by Kari Francis (@huzzahcappella).

Premiering this August at MATCH Houston, CHANT brings together live movement, voice, and real-time sound processing to explore chanting as a shared human ritual.

Thank you so much @noblemotiondance for this wonderful experience. The community was very welcoming and helpful, I have absolutely no complaints. Being able to take dance classes and perform a few pieces for my peers was such a blessing. I loved everything about this piece and program as a whole! #danceislife
