Closing Vocal Performance by Aurora Josephson

Hosted by Marne Lucas

Closing Vocal Performance by Aurora Josephson
Vocal performance by singer Aurora Josephson, "une chanson de la mort" a death song using voice and dry ice, and, a participatory sonic ritual from late composer Pauline Oliveros.

Aurora Josephson is a musician and visual artist who currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Building on the foundation of operatic training and a BA and an MFA in Music Performance from Mills College, she has forged a bold vocal style that is uniquely her own. To unleash the limitless range of sonic possibilities in the voice, Josephson employs a variety of extended and unconventional techniques drawn from the worlds of contemporary composition, improvisation, and rock. She has performed and recorded with Alvin Curran, Gianni Gebbia, Henry Kaiser, Joelle Leandre and William Winant, and musical groups Big City Orchestrae, Flying Luttenbachers, The Molecules, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, T.D. Skatchitband and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Aurora is currently director of the Portland Arts Collective, a non-profit space serving artists and performers. https://www.aurorajosephson.net/
