CUSP Presents: Melanie Emig, Morton Feldman's "Three Voices" // Mortimore / Young duo

Melanie Emig performs Morton Feldman's "Three Voices" (1982), to commemorate Feldman's Centennial. "Three Voices" is a composition for voice and pre-recorded tracks, written in memoriam to his friend and poet, Frank O’Hara. Mostly sung without text, however few fragments of text are sung, from O’Hara's 1957 poem "Wind." // Double bassist J. Tracy Mortimore and oboist Lenny Young have been working together both as a duo and as collaborators in larger projects for two decades. On a technical level, they focus on conceptual structures to create improvised music and the implementation of the novel color possibilities of their instruments.
