Quote: Voicescape Invitation to a trip. The way through a field, forest and rain for one woman and many of her voices. The intersection of sound with shape and colour of soil. "Voicescape" is a concert with projection, a live performance connecting voice with a film screen, a confrontation of vocal and visual structures. It is the search for the sonic shape of the Czech landscape, its colours and curves. Ridina Ahmedová works with a sampler which enables her to provide real time voice loops and layers. Vocal compositions unwind in a spiral. Similarly, the projection is a minimalist composition rather than an illustration of the landscape. Experiences from wandering through a landscape which surrounds us are somewhat subjective, but despite that we all share them in some way, all of us who live in the middle of forests, hills, fields and wayside crosses. Voicescape is conceived as a trip, a walk through the landscape with several stops - in a field, on a hill, in the rain… The singer sings on stage, but she is not the most prominent - a projection screen is behind her. She is not the centrefold - rather a figure passing through a landscape, just a humble wanderer. The premiere of Voicescape took place in November 2003 in NoD, Prague. The performance was awarded as the Best new project of the year 2004 at the Prague festival Next wave. Voicescape
