Viv Corringham
[2015 Artists in Residence, 2021-22 Artists in Residence]
WebsiteViv Corringham is a New York based British vocalist, composer and sound artist, active since the late 1970s. Her work includes concerts, soundwalks, workshops and installations, exploring people’s sense of place and the link with personal history and memory. She has received international recognition and her work has been presented in twenty six countries on five continents.
“Three tracks in particular are musically impressive: firstly, long, ornamented vocal notes perfectly punctuated by the incisive, stately percussion of a woodpecker’s hammering. Later, Corringham creates a chordal drone in sync with a close-up bee, accompaniment for a bird’s soliloquy. And at 3am she’s channelling an ancient crone, splitting vocal tones in some feeble but essential ritual prayer. All of this is acoustic and for real, just a singer in the woods”
