down the hollow road

a deaf mule siging

Il ne dira plus co-co-di co-co-da

In ‘Traces of Song’ I present work regarding my research on the performance of sound, speech and song through more or less amplified media.

I am interested in sound as acoustic phenomenon and as carrier of meaning. I work with recorded sound, text, and voice. I like noise too. How it is constructed and how I can deconstruct it through listening.

I reflect on sound like sound reflects on me. I absorb sound, like a wall does. Sound does not judge me. To sound I’m as much a wall as I am a person. I judge sound. Sound is meaningless until it is processed by my neurological network.

I sing songs. I remember songs. I remember words, rhythms and melodies. I remember patterns. I love patterns. Nature produces patterns beyond my limited comprehension. I only partially understand nature’s rhythms, words and melodies.
