For its June session, Second Sundays invites Canadian artist Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay. We will listen to a variety of vocal material – sung, spoken and screamed – from the artist’s personal collection. The program will be a combination of historical sound recordings that haunt and guide his sonic universe, and voice-driven works from his own oeuvre. Accompanying the session, a ‘listening score’ complicates the vocal material with instructions, question, and other listening material.
Second Sundays is a monthly series initiated by Q-O2. Each session a new guest is invited to share an insight into their own listening, playing and speaking about a selection of sound and music that is important to their thinking or practice. The sessions try to put value on listening to recorded music in a social setting as a space for discussion. The series takes place on the second Sunday of every month,. Each session is paired with a cocktail-of-the-month, as decided by the invited guest.
