“Stripsody” is based on a score of onomatopoetic elements and cartoon language quotes. The solo voice swings on a liana: past the “achoo” to the “boinnnggg”.
The musical piece “Stripsody” for solo voice was created in a collaboration between mezzo-soprano Cathy Berberian and comic book author and illustrator Roberto Zamarin. The score unites onomatopoetic elements, cartoon language and action sequences. Berberian’s magnificent voice takes up the dynamics of the images, swinging on a liana: past the “achoo” to the “boinnnggg”.
