Exploration
of Lingual atrophy and paralinguistic communication
Devolution
Unravelling
Suspension
Atrophy
Deconstruction
Of meaning
Cohesion
No longer linear or
sensical, but lateral and sensory.
Ritualized sound
building with the voice, the tongue, the teeth, the breath, the cheeks and
lips.
Forming an elemental
relationship to sound making which invites enquiry, exploration and engages
with verbal degeneration.
Accessing the
guttural and primal use of the voice formative in our understanding of
language, and delving beyond it into the subtle aspects of communication that
influence our processing of the world. It is from these foundations that
children build their language and thus their understanding of their
environment, it is with a ritualised and intentional practice we oscillate back
to this form of phonetic expression.
Exploring lingual
habits that don’t conform to English Language and social contract- the
whistling of Silbo, the clicking of Xhosa, Bulgarian ‘second voice’, Irish
Keening and beyond.
