Purchase Score
From Mosa Concert Series in collaboration with Carnegie Hall:
“Erin Gee’s Mouthpiece XXII examines the string quartet through Erin’s unique mind as a performer of new vocal techniques. JACK uses a menagerie of delicate methods to excite surprising textures: from high harmonics, to whistling while playing, whispering phonemes, a variety of pizzicati, as well as a rhythmically slow and wide vibrato. The piece comes in and out of focus as a strange and secret magnetism pulls and pushes these sonic curios in and out of our consciousness.
Mouthpiece XXII was commissioned by Musikprotokoll for the 40th Anniversary for the Arditti Quartet.”
