When It Was Over, Hope Littwin
Hollow
A horror meditation on tenderness composed for a film project with Raquel Cedar. I wrote, arranged, sang and co-mixed this track.
When It Was Over
This is a track from my album Wild Beast. The band I wanted to work with came from a fusion/rock background and didn’t read music, so I sang and played them their parts, then lead a guided improvisation based on the song structure and made a final arrangement out of the results of those methods combined. I then subtly manipulated the vocals with various harmonizers and post production magic potions to create this electro-acoustic, jazz/rock fusion piece.

*start at 4:20
This work, Experiments in Movement and Lyric Poetry is a piece for 12 singers, electronics and choreography. Each singer has a headset mic that triggers various electronic effects throughout the work. The choreography, initially much more complex, had to be understated for the sake of the quick turnaround time and lack of rehearsal time. It was written in a week during a very fast-paced residency.
