Assignment
The assignment was to create a concert poster for the voice artist Bruno Amstad at Neustahl's Souterrain Club.
Approach
My approach creating this poster was Amstads shifting and looping of his voice sounds (text below). I wanted to show the inner live of his loops and beats and make them visible - like his voice organ starts to have it’s own visual live...
„Amstad’s throat seems to contain an inexhaustible cornucopia of sounds, precise as they are technically in complete control, as he arranges the manifold resonances of his body from belly-deep growling to a whirring head voice. What’s more, over a mixing console and several pedals and buttons, he makes use of electronic equipment that allows him to sample short phases, slur them and prepare them with, for example, echo or filter effects. Loop for loop Amstad layers his music, and shortly before the sounds threaten to froth over, he pauses just to cross over the voluptuous texture in the manner of a rock, jazz, or soul musician, at times reminiscent of Betty Carter, at others of David Bowie.“ Ueli Bernays, NZZ
Results
Hanspeter Meyer of Neustahl as well as myself had so many positive feedbacks we couldn't count them ...so please see the result and listen to the music...
