I’ll perform music that incorporates voice and movement by composer Bethany Younge.

Charlotte Mundy, Musical Body
Sugar Vendil, Musical Body
Bethany Younge, Soprano, Musical Body, Electronics
Pauline Kim Harris, Violin
Flesh is a culmination of some of Younge's most recent artistic adventures involving the expressive limits of the human body as well as the "fleshing," or animation, of non-human bodies (i.e. instruments and objects). Voices, extreme physical gestures, percussive violin-playing, and electronics contribute to a musical landscape that is at once futuristic and atavistic. Integral to each composition is Younge's highly personalized performance practice.
