Vox Humana
from Palimpsestus by Cláudio de Pina
about
Vox Humana is a study about human voice, like the painting Screaming Pope is a study from Francis Bacon (1950) about another painting of Diego Velázquez, The Pope Innocent X (1650). Bacon's study was inspired by the paintings of Vélazquez and film Battleship Potemkin, from Sergei Eiseintein (1925). The naming of this working also relates to a pipe organ register named Vox Humana, that tries to mimic human voice. The original recordings consist of human voices, a miscellany of several choirs; men, women and children, performing all kinds of notes and sounds that a human voice can produce.
