Kraftklub is a German band whose music uses what type of expressionist vocal technique between singing and speaking where pitches are sung?
Sprechgesang Sprechgesang (] , "spoken singing") and Sprechstimme (] , "spoken voice") are expressionist vocal techniques between singing and speaking. Though sometimes used interchangeably, "Sprechgesang" is directly related to the operatic "recitative" manner of singing (in which pitches are sung, but the articulation is rapid and loose like speech), whereas "Sprechstimme" is closer to speech itself (because it does not emphasise any particular pitches).
Atonality Atonality in its broadest sense is music that lacks a tonal center, or key. "Atonality", in this sense, usually describes compositions written from about 1908 to the present day where a hierarchy of pitches focusing on a single, central tone is not used, and the notes of the chromatic scale function independently of one another . More narrowly, the term "atonality" describes music that does not conform to the system of tonal hierarchies that characterized classical European music between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries . "The repertory of atonal music is characterized by the occurrence of pitches in novel combinations, as well as by the occurrence of familiar pitch combinations in unfamiliar environments" .
