Listen is a piece of vocal collage arranged from the words and poems of Christine Hume. Assembled from her book Shot, complete poems are juxtaposed here with textual fragments, phrases, even single words to form a linear, dramatic context; a kind of audio theatre. The intrinsic tonal, melodic, even harmonic aspects of Hume’s words provided the fundamental approach for creating a piece of vocal composition, of musical trajectory, form and sensibility.
