Reflections Over Verisimilitude, Hull UK City Of Culture Edition

Dutch-British composer Jobina Tinnemans creates enigmatic music that sits somewhere between electronics, contemporary art and classical music, while Kammerkór Suðurlands is an eclectic rabble of vigorous singers from the South of Iceland, whose work takes them to major music festivals around the world.

Their piece, Reflections Over Verisimilitude, for choir and electronics, will be performed in April 2017 as part of ‘John Grant’s North Atlantic Flux, Sounds from Smokey Bay’ four-day music festival in Hull 2017 UK City of Culture. This celebration of the best in Nordic creativity will take over Hull city center and highlight Hull’s deep ties to our neighbors in Iceland and beyond.

But what actually is Reflections Over Verisimilitude? It is not just a composition and not just a performance, it is (in a word) stunning. Surreal visuals of Kammerkór Suðurlands, filmed singing on location in the beautiful wild scenery’s of Snaefellsness, Iceland, are combined with a live concert performed by local Hull singers. Each singer wears a microphone that picks up their voice by physical contact, triggering live on stage a transparent layer of arranged echoes. Navigating through various landscapes and over ocean surfaces, these echoes, which started during the Iceland concert, find their coordinates in Hull, reflecting a verisimilitude of space, history and fiction.

The work is performed as a collection of six genre defying songs – varying from minimalist and improvised to the more traditionally choral – and is yet another representation of Tinnemans‘ fearless attitude to composing music.
