With the current challenges such as isolation, restrictions on movement, and social distancing requirements in mind, Michael Langemann has created his composition as a sound event consisting of five modules in various languages. They can be sung and recorded individually or in groups, live or in digital space, at home, at concerts, or outdoors. Over 180 singers from amateur choirs from Rome, London, and Paris have already come together to form individually adapted groups and created sound and video recordings of their interpretations.
A team of artists is bringing this ever-growing community choral work together from an audiovisual point of view. In doing so, they are creating a collective transnational work of art that establishes numerous connections between people, cities, generations, professional groups, and lifestyles.
Voices.Europe will premiere on the 11th of September at Goethe-Institut Rome. The audiovisual performance will also be presented at the Ars Electronica Festival from the 8th until the 12th of September.
