Spiro have announced a series of shows in the UK in April/May at which they will launch a new collaboration with Synergy Vocals. The show will be called 'Tongue Like a Drum'.
Spiro’s raw, punk-infused minimalism and trademark intricate interplay steps up a level in this exciting new collaboration with Steve Reich’s vocalists of choice, the incredible Synergy Vocals and analogue-synth player Ruth Wall. The groups merge to create one emotionally charged but exquisitely controlled machine as Spiro’s main composer Jane Harbour harnesses the super-human technique of Synergy’s voices.
“True English originals” —The Guardian on Spiro
With influences including minimalist classical music and electronica, Harbour has created a new form of systems music for vocals that deconstructs and rebuilds the meaning of language. Crystallising emotional experience in surreal vignettes, Harbour’s lyrics retell and subvert the tales behind English folk songs; conjuring filmic images and exploring our timeless struggle with the human condition, loss and female power.
“Exquisite performance” —Financial Times on Synergy Vocals
