Vocal Improvisation with Kathy Kennedy
KATHY KENNEDY is a sound artist with formal training in visual art as well as classical singing. Her art practice generally involves the voice and issues of interface with technology, often using telephony or radio transmission. Deeply committed to community art, her large scale sonic installation/performances for over 100 singers and radio, called "sonic choreographies," have been performed internationally. She loves to give workshops on acoustic ecology, Deep Listening and vocal improvisation, and teaches music at Concordia University. Her solo performances include a high level of improvisation over lush soundtracks of painstakingly mixed vocals and other sounds to create an immersive world of different voices.
