Ghost Song

Sharon Gal will perform ‘Ghost Song’ at the Arnolfini gallery in Bristol on 14^th October  – a new performance piece, visceral sound poem and incantation, responding to my poem originally inspired by her performance at Xposed Club/University of Gloucestershire on 8thDecember 2017

Song Ghost & Ghost Song appeared in Rivet Journal in 2018

The performance comprises pre-recorded audio and live improvised performance, the performance brings together breath, voice, electronics, field recordings, bells and objects, to explore trace memories, hidden emotions and the interplay between order and chaos. 

“Smith’s words act as a gravitational wave, a faint pulse directing and inspiring a sonorous journey from within the resonating body, engaging the primary voice, beneath and beyond language. Ghost Song emerges in whispers and thunder to penetrate the fabric of the world.”  

Sharon Gal is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, vocalist and composer, specialising in free improvisation, experimental music and collaborative, participatory compositions. She works with voice, electronics, extended techniques, field recordings, found audio, video and collage; exploring presence, listening, embodiment, and the relationship between people, sound and space.  Sharon’s music has been released by many labels, including five solo albums and various collaborations. Past performances include The V&A, ICA, The Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Modern & Tate Britain, MACBA, and Colour Out Of Space, Borealis, Supernormal, Supersonic, TUSK, and Tectonics festivals.
