About This Event

The UK premiere of Juste Janulyte’s Iridescence by the 鶹Լ Singers opens a portal into the expanding musical universe of symphonic electronics – “symphonic” in the ancient Greek meaning “harmonious”.

“I sit here on the perfect end of a star / watching light pour itself toward me…” When electronics or per-recorded sounds combine with human voices, they start to fuse and metamorphose, opening new horizons and creating sounds that neither could achieve unaided. For the Lithuanian composer Juste Janulyte, it’s a chance for creative dialogue - both with the musical past, and with any number of possible futures.

So, what more poetic way to begin our Total Immersion than in the wonderland of symphonic electronics? Then the young professional voices of the Guildhall Session Singers join student and staff producers/composers of the Guildhall’s Electronic & Produced Music Department for the world premiere of an exciting new collaborative song cycle of 12 ‘moments’ for 12 voices and electronics.
