The Hallelujah Drones : Henry Vega / VocaalLAB Choir and electronics

music by Henry Vega for six voices and computer. Performed by VocaalLab Nederlands at the Gaudeamus Music Festival 2008 in Amsterdam. The piece asks the voices to intone the poem on a pitch starting from different points in the text, making a nice vocal effect which is reflected in the title. They then change the reading style to make subtle changes in the texture as well as intoning in other pitches building chords that include the initial tone. The computer plays mainly sine tones but also puts bursts of sustained noise alongside the vocalists singing. With the computer I make samples of the voices at different points and then trigger fragments of that to create another layer of vocalists in the music.
