Friday Late at Somerset House

On Friday 15 August 2025, the Vocal Constructivists performed ‘Somerset Dreams’ as part of The Spell or The Dream, by Somerset House Studios artist Tai Shani. We presented a programme of works that blur traditional disciplinary, social, and aesthetic boundaries in an effort to cultivate greater sensory awareness. Using Pauline Oliveros’s ‘Deep Listening’ techniques, poetic interpolations, and theatrical movements, the programme included pieces by Barbara Alden, Robert Ashley, Carole Finer, Nye Ffarrabas, Ron Kuivila, Pauline Oliveros, Yoko Ono, Michael Parsons, and the Scratch Orchestra.
