Jocelyn
Pook Ensemble
'...a
dizzying diversity of styles and musics
... Pook's ensemble features virtuoso vocalists
from Iran and Sri Lanka, a master of the
Arabian qanun (a relative of the zither),
synthesisers, samplers and string quintet
.....'
Tom Service, The
Guardian
The Jocelyn Pook Ensemble's repertoire features
music from her Real World album 'Untold
Things', as well as selections from some
of her film and television scores, including
'Eyes Wide Shut', 'L'emploi du temps' and
'In a land of plenty'.
Many of the concerts
have incorporated a strong visual element,
more recently provided by the artist Dragan
Aleksic. For the 1999 concert in Venice,
Dragan created 'Tides', a unique video installation
which involved multi-layered video projections
of edited footage combined with live transmission
(from the square outside the theatre) of
a burning wax life cast of the composer.
For the 2001 CMN tour, Dragan created another
video installation, 'Memory of a Passerby',
which deals with the complexity and beauty
of the transitory nature of things.
Regular members of the
ensemble include Harvey
Brough (psaltery/keyboards/voice),
Melanie
Pappenheim
(mezzo soprano), Parvin
Cox (Persian voice), Manickam
Yogeswaran (South Indian singer)
Jacqueline Norrie
(violin), Sally Herbert
(violin), Kelly McCusker
(violin/voice), Sophie
Harris (cello) and Abdullah
Chhadeh (qanun).
