About Comma
"Three musicians 'meet' in performance, and the
result falls outside the traditional concert - it is
vocal theater, a celebration of the voice as a
direct line to all the apparitions and emotions that
make up experience...sentence fragments, repeated
syllables, seductive hisses, whispers are the
language of populations, ancient and familiar."
Anne Pierce, Washington Review Comma is...
...contextual silenceSee Comma's home page for more about the ensemble, including RealAudio excerpts of its recordings and performances....a pause and change in the flow of information
...the difference in tones when various tunings and ways of arriving at pitches meet at a common note
...an ensemble specializing in music that involves improvisation and mindfulness practices. Their repertory includes newly composed musical works, performance poetry, chant from various early traditions, and group improvisations. Techniques include many extended uses of the voice as well as electro-acoustic environments.
