Event information
Katya Shirshkova is a France-based performance artist, vocalist, composer and lecturer. She works in the field of experimental music on the border between academic avant-garde, sound-art and folk traditions, mainly with voice and choirs, applying interdisciplinary methods in her practice.
Katya is going to perform a vocal piece “Le Heron”, minimalistic in its approach of work with only voice and looper. Katya re-records her own voice and creates a type of sonoric clusters,
which give an effect of synthetic sound, but reached only by resources of the voice, its natural beatings and electric amplification.
“Le Heron” was created and produced at La Box residence/ENSA Bourges (FR) and was recently released as a split album w/ David Maranha on Stellage label (GR).
