juice's reportoire covers a wealth of new music, arrangements of folk, jazz, world music, early music and pop. Some suggested programmes are here:
1) reimaginings
juice presents a programme that showcases innovative ways of working in close collaboration with young British composers and visual artists. Material that began as improvisation in the studio has been reworked and scored into pieces; completed songs have been cut up and intertwined; music that was originally acoustic has been reinvented with live electronics; darkly kitsch visuals have added a completely new dimension.
Phillip Neil Martin - Human Drum
Rob Fokkens - Hamba; Sheepdip
Lucy Mulgan - lowlight
The Beach Boys - In My Room
Adam Melvin - Three Glimpses
Kerry Andrew/Paul J Abbott- turn on the neon nightswitch
James Lindsay - sanbiki no kashikoi saru
2) the witching hour
A spine-chilling concert which explores the extreme possibilities of the voice. Central to the programme are Meredith Monk's Volcano Songs, which juice has worked on with Monk and her colleague Katie Geissinger. The programme includes music influenced by eerie myths and legends and pushes vocal boundaries with growling harmonics, percussive effects, yodelling and microtonal singing. Pieces to include:
Kerry Andrew - lullaby for the witching hour; luna-cy
Piers Hellawell - Emerodde
David Breslin - yellow-bellied; Urdr trilogy
Morag Galloway - Dream of You
