+ | For a few years, now, I have been developing research work on using the voice to produce body expression other than just language, evolving from sound poetry, elaborating and performing various vocal pieces (in a wider register, ranging from whisper to shout, through noise produced by pressure on the nose). I have also worked on a kind of composition in the field of ‘concrete music in a studio’, managing to transform and expand the range of vocal experiments even further, with the help of digital tools. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After this initial practice of vocal performance in a studio, as well as instrumental improvisation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I then realized that it was not possible to respect the temporality and the energy of vocal performances, | ||

+ | |||
+ | Ghosts and spirits sing through me, my ancient past is living inside | ||
+ | me, I am myself, I am them, I am multiple, my tongue is many tongues, | ||
+ | my voice is voices beyond voices. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When my voice escapes my mouth, I suddenly became conscious that | ||
+ | someone was talking for me, it couldn' | ||
+ | My mind and my cells are full of memories of the past, beyond my life' | ||
+ | past. The roots of this singing come from the earliest point in humanity' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sound poetry opens up the possibility to liberate the potential of the voice, bringing the traditional singing from those roots, bringing me connections to my | ||
+ | history. Discovering your own body, your own shout, your own chant, through the air exhaled by your lungs and vibrating through your throat. This tells of nothing more than a sound released by a mouth, and yet it is everything to do with human beings, it tells the stories that we don't remember, makes connections with that which we forgot, with people long since gone, all of this resurgent memories come back again in a furore of air that implode within the body. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Naturally my voices, our voices meet with machines and became more than human, they became something else, an impossible mutation | ||
+ | of reverberant living cells coupled with dead metals components that violently | ||
+ | |||
+ | This paradoxical assemblage of improbable beings, machines versus humans, | ||
+ | is by no means a dead end - this way, the furore of life pushes the cold | ||
+ | logicality of electronic circuits. For many years now this paradox | ||
+ | crosses my musical works in this series called voice & computer. My research involves these ambiguous relations of love & hate, attraction and repulsion and of dreams versus nightmare towards machines. | ||
+ | Four recording which had never been officially released are studies | ||
+ | which address some aspects of these opposing relations, from a very abstract piece formed by the dematerialization of a shout to low voices divided. | ||
+ | In the Trilogie des Fantômes, I rediscovered, | ||
+ | that have been used for centuries, some fundamental singing that | ||
+ | crosses humanity, to this mutation with machines taking place through the | ||
+ | saturation, amplification, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Voice creates desire, machine capture this desire and create new desire | ||
+ | from it, immortality, | ||
+ | machine is being for humans, those forgetting the other beings, his | ||
+ | own natural machine, a potential of potentials left under developed. The | ||
+ | machines attracted us, we created them to extended our possibilities, | ||
+ | to go beyond our weakness, we are machines, we think as machines, they | ||
+ | are humans, we are still fighting with our egos, with our dark face, we just | ||
+ | materialize a concrete object that overloads us, which we can no longer control, we are lost in a future where humans will no longer be humans as we remember in our pasts, we will be new humans, post humans, we will become meta-humans. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This recording is no more than reflecting this relation between humanity struggle to survive and those machines that we create to help us to survive, but from our condition of consciousness, | ||
+ | our own death, our own end, and the impossible truth of life. | ||
