Q7942344 Vox Cycle is a six compositions or independent movement cycle for four amplified voices, and electroacoustic music by Trevor Wishart, composed between 1980 and 1988, associated with extended vocal techniques and the contemporary vocal composition.The Cycle is focused on the relationship and the interpolation between natural sounds and human voice, the main musical interest of the composer on which he has been researching for a long time, starting from Red Bird composition released through analog means.The poetics at the base of the work has linguistic and philosophical marks, regarding the relationship between creation and disintegration of man, between natural developments and failure of western culture and society. The Raw and the Cooked by Claude Lévi-Strauss suggested to the composer this central idea for his album.All the movements included in the original record are performed by the Electric Phoenix ensemble, using the extended vocal techniques following the scores according to the composer's indications. The recordings of the voices in the electroacoustic compositions are related with animals, natural and mechanical sounds; the spectromorphological transformations of the voices and sounds are conducted by technological means, with four-channel spazialization for the performances. Vox V only is based on the recording of vocal sounds improvised by Wishart himself and the transformation of these.Commissioned by IRCAM in 1981 and released in 1986, this composition resumes the characteristics of the entire cycle in its several production steps. From the poetical point of view, this movement represents the narrative climax; from the technical point of view it is the only piece conceived to be totally acousmatic while the other pieces have been composed to be performed. Vox V can be considered as the result of the research on the transformations of sound that Wishart has been conducting for a long time, which led to the creation of Sound Loom - Composers' Desktop Project (CDP) software. The piece was first broadcast on the French Radio INA/GRM, within Acousmatique cycle.The methodology at the base of the entire work is focused on the musical space as sonorous continuum and the concept of transformation, from a spectromorphological point of view. The essential compositional device is the gesture in the sound continuum, the transformation from one sound propriety to another as from one symbol to another. Wishart is focused on the dynamics and timbre evolution within the single musical events. In particular, regarding the interpolation between voice and other sounds, Vox V has perhaps the "classic sonic example of this process in the transformation from the voice to a swarm of bees and the return of the voice." Finally, the work is openly dedicated to the human voice. The composer's interest is about the voice versatility as superior to any other musical instrument for sound production, although, as the composer declared, he has been using the voice since the beginning because it was easier than recording natural or urban sounds through old analog means, when new technologies were not available.

Q19875514 Barrhill is a lightly populated locality in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It is situated on the Canterbury Plains, on the right bank of the Rakaia River, about 17 kilometres (11 mi) inland from Rakaia. It was founded by Cathcart Wason in the mid-1870s and named by him after his old home Barrhill in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Wason set it up as a model village for the workers of his large sheep farm. The population of the village peaked in the mid-1880s before the general recession initiated a downturn for the village. Wason had expected for the Methven Branch railway to run past Barrhill, but the line was built in 1880 on an alignment many miles away, which caused Barrhill population to decrease.Three of the original buildings of Barrhill plus the gatehouse at Wason's homestead were constructed of concrete, and they still exist to this day. One of those buildings, St John's Church, is registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category II heritage building, and the gatehouse is a museum that is open on request. Today, few buildings exist in the village, but the formal layout of avenues still exists, giving the setting a charming appearance.
Q20128058 Arthur Savile (20 December 1819 – 23 April 1870) was an English clergyman and a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and other amateur teams between 1839 and 1841. He was born at Methley in Yorkshire and died at Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire.Savile was the sixth son of John Savile, 3rd Earl of Mexborough, and of his wife Anne, who was the daughter of Philip Yorke, 3rd Earl of Hardwicke. Throughout his life, he was styled as "The Honourable Arthur Savile". He was educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge.As a cricketer, Savile was a middle-order batsman, and he appears not to have bowled, though he played one first-class match for a team called the "Fast Bowlers" in 1841 and in any case records from his time as a cricketer are incomplete. He played three times from 1836 to 1838 for Eton in the annual Eton v Harrow cricket match before going to Cambridge University in 1839. He was not successful in first-class cricket. In his first match for Cambridge University, he scored 14 not out in the first innings of the match against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), but that remained his highest score, and in his only other appearance for the University side, in the University Match against Oxford University in 1840, he scored just 3 and 1. Three matches for MCC produced just 11 runs in four innings, while he failed to score in either innings of his other first-class game.Savile graduated from Cambridge University in 1841 and was ordained as a deacon and then as a priest within the Church of England from 1844 to his death. From 1843 to 1847 he was curate at three different churches: St Clement Danes in London, St Nicholas' Church in Warwick, and then in the parish of Monks Kirby with Withybrook in north Warwickshire. In 1847 he was appointed vicar at Ashby Magna in Leicestershire and in 1850 he moved to be vicar at Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire, where he remained until his death, aged 50.Savile married Lucy Neville, daughter of Richard Griffin, 3rd Baron Braybrooke, in 1852 and they had eight daughters and two sons. His death was reported as being sudden: "after a few hours' illness, of acute inflammation of the windpipe".
