A live installation in which audience members whisper sounds in the performer’s ears to feed an instantly composed voice landscape.
Sound[ing] Body is a live installation in which the performer acts as a sounding board for the audience’s inner living sounds. Audience members are invited to whisper sounds in the performer’s ears to feed an instantly composed voice landscape. This work is part of a larger research project in which the artist is investigating instant voice and movement composition as a method for “sono-archeology”, an excavation of sounds from the body as a sonic archive.
