VERITY STANDEN
Verity is a composer, director, performer and choir leader. Her work focuses on the human voice - gathering people together to sing, and exploring different ways that people can experience music.
New Collaboration
Verity has recently joined the wonderful singers of HOWL. Alongside her own projects, Verity will be performing with them at concerts and recording a new album later in the year. Here’s a song of Verity’s sung by some of the group, captured by Paul Blakemore.
“Verity Standen has a history of producing affecting, sensual audio shows… A hum can become more than hum-drum, a simple tuning fork can send your mind spiralling, and the movement of a singer can seem revolutionary.”
- The Fix Magazine
“Sound becomes feeling: the feeling of a note moving through the chest to the throat, the feeling of volume rising like wings beating against your skin. The feeling of a melody feather-soft, embers-warm, the feeling of a rhythm like the pounding of your lover's heart. It's like the sound itself is holding you, suspended inside itself; it becomes a part of you, and so you become part of it.”
— Maddy Costa on Verity’s work in Performance in an Age of Precarity
