WUPG performs: Perfectly Voiceless by Devonté Hynes

Washburn University Percussion Group performs Perfectly Voiceless by Devonté Hynes.

Hynes is a British singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and author who goes by the stage name Blood Orange.

Hynes composed the music for an entire evening-length program featuring Third Coast Percussion and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, with new choreography created by Emma Portner, Jon Boogz, and Lil Buck, which premiered in Chicago in September 2018. To create this 75-minute opus, Hynes composed music with synthesized and sampled sounds, which he then sent to Third Coast Percussion. TCP experimented with instruments to create a live performance version of the music, which they then recorded and sent back to Hynes for feedback, then eventually to the choreographers to create the dance. Perfectly Voiceless was composed as a musical interlude between choreographed pieces in this larger program.
