Multispecies Vocal Weaving
My current research is happening in the forest. I am doing fieldwork for an artistic research project asking: Can humans and nonhumans make music together? Can I call it multispecies musicking? Can I call it multispecies vocal weaving? I want to know how to think about human voices making-with ontologically heterogeneous partners in a forest.
The project explores the voice through embodiment, extended vocal techniques, deconstructed phonetic poetry and multispecies vocal weaving with the aim of creating vocal sculptures as ecological art.
