DIVAcontemporary Radio podcast :: ‘sturzstrom’ by Marc Yeats.
https://www.marc-yeats.com/sturzstrom-2011/
As part of the studios ‘coast to coast’ programme DIVAcontemporary Radio will be broadcasting a work from 2011, ‘sturzstrom’ composed by Marc Yeats, sung by a community choir and recorded by David Rogers and Phill Phelps. ‘sturzstrom’ was composed as ‘a landslide event for voices’ meaning the work attempts to depict landmass movement and geological process as found along the ‘Jurassic Coast’ of East Devon and Dorset. This depiction is not a scientific reconstruction of these processes in sound; rather, an imaginative response to these forces and outcomes as contrived in the composer’s imagination and amplified by the individual contributions of the performers.
