(D) Kurzbeschreibung des Kurses:
(D) Kurzbeschreibung des Kurses:
Die Kunst der freien Improvisation richtet sich an alle, die mehr über ihre Stimme erfahren möchten, und umfasst eine Einführung in erweiterte Gesangstechniken. Geleitet vom musikalischen Moment wird der Kreativität freien Lauf gelassen, während wir den Makrokosmos der menschlichen Stimme (wieder)entdecken! Instrumentalisten sind herzlich willkommen. ln(at)laurennewton.com
(E) Drawing on her experience with a wide variety of musical styles, Lauren Newton works with participants on advanced vocal techniques that go far beyond melodic singing. The full range of the voice can be more easily accessed and understood through free improvisation, giving every vocalist endless possibilities for creating a unique soundscape and captivating music. Everything is explored: group sound and individual sound, pure tones, noises, melodies, speech, rhythm, pauses, and the unexpected elements of the musical process. These unconventional musical working methods enhance the participants’ perception and overall understanding. As a result, the music takes on a deeper meaning for them as well as for the listeners.
Guided by the musical moment, creativity is set free, and we experience the world of the human voice in an entirely new way! The course is equally enriching for vocalists and instrumentalists.
(D) Auf der Grundlage ihrer Erfahrungen mit einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Musikstile arbeitet Lauren Newton mit den Teilnehmern an erweiterten Gesangstechniken, die weit über den melodischen Gesang hinausgehen. Durch freie Improvisation lässt sich der gesamte Stimmumfang leichter erschließen und erfassen, was jedem Teilnehmenden unendliche Möglichkeiten eröffnet, eine einzigartige Klangwelt und fesselnde Musik zu schaffen. Alles wird erkundet: Gruppenklang und individueller Klang, reine Töne, Geräusche, Melodien, Sprache, Rhythmus, Pausen und die unerwarteten Elemente des musikalischen Prozesses. Diese unkonventionellen musikalischen Arbeitsmethoden schärfen die Wahrnehmung und das allgemeine Verständnis der Teilnehmenden. Dadurch gewinnt die Musik sowohl für sie selbst als auch für die Zuhörer eine tiefere Bedeutung.
Geleitet vom musikalischen Moment wird die Kreativität entfesselt, und wir erleben die Welt der menschlichen Stimme auf ganz neue Weise! Der Kurs ist für Sänger und Instrumentalisten gleichermaßen bereichernd.
