Summary
Meredith Monk is an artist of many media. In her exploration of the human voice, she has transcended the boundaries of vocal song. She is also her own composer, choreographer and film-maker, blending all these into a unique style and content of performance which suggests scurrying creatures in primeval landscapes. Here, with her vocal group, she performs Dolman Music, Travelling, Quarry, Ellis Island and Turtle Dreams.
