TREVOR WISHART - TONGUES OF FIRE (1994)

Orpheus The Pantomime - OTP001
Trevor Wishart (born 11 October 1946) is an English composer, based in York who has contributed to composing with digital audio media, both fixed and interactive. He has also written extensively on the topic of what he terms “sonic art,” and contributed to the design and implementation of software tools used in the creation of digital music. Wishart's compositional interests deal mainly with the human voice. This is most evident in his VOX Cycle, Tongues of Fire, Globalalia, Two Women, and American Triptych. He is also an improvisor of extended vocal techniques. (wikipedia)
Tongs of Fire was realised almost entirely on a low cost home computer using software developed by the composer and other participants in the Composers Desktop Project. The final mixdown was planned at the GMEB (Groupe de Musique Expérimental de Bourges, a collective of composers linked with the electro-acoustic & acousmatic research) studio in Bourges, France. The first public performance took place at the 1994 Synthese festival in Bourges.
