The Still

Conceying vocal and oral techniques through the practice of immediate response—the aural score

This audio example is the stereo version of the Aural Score which originally is an electroacoustic composition for five individual channels with vocal and oral material derived from the composer's voice. It represents the basis for the realisation of the composition The Still. The idea about the aural score is that, instead of using a traditionally written score, it serves as a reference for the performers in the form of an audio template which the performers are listening and reacting to. During the actual performance, each performer hears only one (her/his) channel as opposed to hear the whole as a stereo mix, which is here the case.
