Meredith Monk: A Documentary, by Sidsel Mundal (1994)

In this 1994 documentary, Monk shares her process and we see behind-the-scenes footage of her rehearsing and working with members of her acclaimed Vocal Ensemble on such works as "New York Requiem", "Do You Be", and "Vessel".

There’s an exhibition of her work in Amsterdam starting 16th October 2023 and I’m very happy to go see it

[@robmeehan1]

Nice documentary! I've had the pleasure to see her perform twice, before this was made. The second time was free in a decent hall and alas only about a dozen folk showed. She was as always, magnificent!

[@NoiseKidd]

I see things like this and I just wish I could do even a fraction of it, it seems like what I want to do ridiculously outweighs what I'm actually capable of doing.

[@nalymnezeoh]

you can do it!

[@johncraigjohnson4879]

You absolutely can do it if that’s what you desire. If you desire it, you’re almost there. Now increase the awareness your body and heart and release judgment.

If you don't "get" Meredith Monk's music, do you even like sounds?

[@orvilleredenpiller338]

Yes.

[@Marriedrebels]

Hah! Holy shit. If you don't like the smell of my farts, do you even eat food? Hah!

[@BubblewrapHighway]

I get many emotions from her music.
All of them are annoyed.

[@patrickhamos2987]

I swear if that's Robby Rackleff at 23:14 I've had it.

Would Simon say yes to this on AGT?

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

Doubtful. Reminds me of Eccentric.

[@Chasestringsmusic]
