Underskog

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and all music had disappeared. All musical instruments and all forms of recorded music, gone. A world without music. What is more, you cannot even remember what music sounded like or how it was made. You can only remember that it had existed and that it had been important to you and your civilisation. And you long to hear it once more.

The17 is a choir. Their music has no history, follows no traditions, recognises no contemporaries.
 The17 has many voices.
 They use no libretto, lyrics or words; no time signatures, rhythm or beats;
 and have no knowledge of melody, counterpoint or harmony. 
The17 struggle with the dark and respond to the light.

Questioning our ideas and attitude to music, the Scottish artist Bill Drummond brings his choir project The17 to Sounds Like Work. Score 368: The17 VERSUS GUITARS will be interpreted at the Kiasma Theatre by a group of singers who also form the audience of the performance.
