Incantation, Wendy
연도 미상Frances Scott, Dave Tompkins, Stine Hebert, Beth Bramich
Responding to the work of composer Wendy Carlos as part of a new book Incantation, Wendy (2021), Frances Scott is joined in conversation by contributors Dave Tompkins, Stine Hebert, and Beth Bramich to reflect on Carlos’s music and her connected interests, including photography of solar eclipses. Meditating on Carlos as “The Original Synth”, they will explore the unbounded voice in collaboration, synthesis, and transition; through vocoders, archives, rereadings, light pulses, solar flares, and cyclical returns. The event includes recordings of Carlos discussing vocal synthesis and her electronic orchestration in albums from Switched-On Bach to Digital Moonscapes, live readings from the book, and excerpts from Scott’s recent moving-image work, developed while making her film fan-letter Wendy (2022). Incantation, Wendy is published by An Endless Supply under their Bobo imprint, and forms part of Wendy, a research residency and commission with TACO!. Supported by Arts Council England and Peabody.
