Haunted

Haunted is an extended vocal technique composition that tells the story of a man being stalked by a creature as he makes his way home at night. With aesthetic inspiration from Lachenmann's Guero, the piece uses a custom graphic notation structure with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) system I experimented with during my undergraduate studies. Now, I wanted to see the ways I could push the system further by including more voice types and extending ranges and IPA materials.
