[trigger me] & [#tag_me_if_you_can]

are both concert programmes that consist of 100 % voice! In connection with live electronics the entire sound spectrum is based on the vocal output of one singer.

In terms of chamber musical interactions between the performer and the computer, the voice turns into an interactive antagonist of itself, in real time recorded, modulated and transformed in multiple ways. [trigger me] includes on the one hand works by Julia Mihály herself and on the other hand pieces written by other composers specially for Julia Mihály’s voice.

Various types of electronic devices become an essential part of the performance, such as tablets, game devices, sensors, hacked toy instruments and different kinds of MIDI controllers. [trigger me] scans vocal border areas at the edge of classical singing and extended vocal techniques.

[trigger me] features the following composers: Karlheinz Essl, Minas Borboudakis, Stefan Hakenberg, Ole Hübner, Felix Leuschner, Julia Mihály, Iris ter Schiphorst, Martin Schüttler, Florian Hartlieb, Niclas Thobaben, John Cage, Luigi Nono and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
