Body Voice Bassoon

This was a research space or laboratory I shared with bassoonist Luke Crookes. Nothing here is perfect – it’s purely exploration. No packaging just the raw work with a few titles.

Luke Crookes and I met on my Creative Lab course: Recharging Your Creativity.  During the course, Luke created a piece of work: Smudge which he performed at Manworks, the platform for sharing the creative work developed on the course. Following that we explored together to find a way to combine body voice and bassoon. It is an exhilarating and challenging  journey.

This page is an attempt to share our preliminary and very basic documented workshops and creativity.

The first showcase is the culmination of the work.

The second second showcase digs back into process.

The third showcase shows the very early work and is focussed on the training. Generally, these excavations have three phases: pre-amble, warming into the work and then the manifestation of the imagined world through improvisation.

Right at the bottom of the page are soundcloud links to our reflections.

All this material here is for study, so it will take time to go through it.
