Timothy Hill joins us for a concert/workshop highlighting the multi-dimensionality of the human voice. This event will feature an extended solo voice performance featuring harmonic (overtone) singing, with brief explanatory remarks and guided exercises for the listeners, followed by a few original and traditional pieces from American and Indian folkloric traditions with guitar accompaniment.
Timothy Hill weaves a natural purity of voice with threads of otherworldly abstract sound, blending seamlessly into a style that transcends genre. Having performed with such diverse artists as John Cage, Bill Frisell, Jeff Buckley, Allen Ginsberg, Odetta, Pete Seeger, Madan Gopal Singh, Pauline Oliveros, Iva Bittova, and Brooklyn Raga Massive, Hill's musical explorations span folk, jazz, world music, contemporary classical and improvisation. With David Hykes and the Harmonic Choir, he has been a pioneer in the art of harmonic singing, prompting The New York Times critic Robert Palmer to praise Hill as "a virtuoso of the Tibetan chanting technique."
