MY WORK WITH VOICE

My ongoing vocal and sonic research focusses on the idea of "South":
SUED is a non-geographic Southern dimension, a peripheral listening space that becomes the center of my attention.

The human voice is ephemeral. Is the act of recording therefore a form of writing and a visualization of the voice for the eternity? A crucial aspect of my artistic research is the tension between orality and writing. The deep exploration of the voice as a medium and instrument brings me to a physical acoustic experience. The voice can be expanded into something else, it can be transformed or symbolized, it can become a drawing and a graphic score, or it can be recorded. How can I make the presence of my voice visible?
I create fast, abstract automatic drawings. Although these can be read as graphic notation, the drawings are much more than a visual representation of the voice. Detached from visual-acoustic hierarchies, voice and gestural drawing are inseparably connected in a hand-mouth coding. While the voice remains an immaterial part of my body, it generates sound from the inside to the outside. I am interested to find connections between opposites, creating a dialogue between the sound of the inside and the outside. I sing abstract sounds with my voice such as whispering, breathing, mouth and throat sounds, tonality and dissonance, fragmented words, and I "write" them in form of drawing for the eternity.




My Solo for Voice and Electronics is an immersive performance where I can explore trance-like state in singing. I interweave my voice with sound poetry eruptions through a dynamic use of pre-recorded sonic material, unknown languages, microphones, tapes, theremin, and field recordings. This is a collage of different sonic elements that bring their own life and memory. The act of listening while producing vocal sounds becomes a spiritual exercise to share with my audience, transcending the own identity, becoming a "medium" for my own voice that appears.
