Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the musical performance Cipher by Samita Sinha on Saturday, October 11th.
A staged music work for solo voice and electronics, “Cipher” is a journey through a sonic landscape. Utilizing her practice of “bodysound”—uniting voice, physical gesture, language, and space into potent articulations from raw utterance to speech to song—vocalist and composer Samita Sinha asks is it possible to create a “native” tongue, a contemporary pidgin that gathers and refracts multiple languages, worldviews, and temporalities in a contemporary soundscape that weaves together tones, moods, and languages.
Cipher is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by PICA in partnership with the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and REDCAT.
