Simon Thorne Music/Melanie Pappenheim & Rebecca Askew: Vocal Sonics
T0
SImon Thorne Music, Neanderthal: Neanderthal is an imaginative recreation of the Palaeolithic soundscape through the medium of voice. It is a search for origins by answering the question why did we ever come to make music in the first place? A journey along the songlines of our ancestral past to a moment where language and song are joined in the same instinctive breath. Melanie Pappenheim & Rebcca Askew, FLAM: Entertaining and virtuosic, FLAM is a unique blend of voice theatre, composed by Orlando Gough and directed by Emma Bernard, exploring the vocal, physical and comic skills of two extraordinary performers. Melanie Pappenheim (whose ethereal voice featured on 'Doctor Who”) and jazz singer Rebecca Askew (Askew & Avis) are “quite brilliant. They gossip, compete, sympathise and conduct a hilarious singing lesson in unison and counterpoint. Witty, touching and virtuosic, it's a little gem” (Sunday Telegraph).
