WORLD PREMIERE Hear the voice!
The Karma Project
Under the intriguing, metaphorical name The Karma Project, Michael Popp and Sigrid Hausen have brought together a group of exceptional musicians, singers and performers for the première of Hear the Voice!, a directed concert inspired by the Indian Mahabharata. In musical terms, Hausen and Popp seek out both polyphonic and dark, gothic sounds, combining the invocatory tones of Indian musical instruments with singing and electronic soundscapes. Hear The Voice! promises to be an experience on multiple levels, in a category of its own.
