Sympoietic vocal practice

Abstract

In this Voicing, Ute Wassermann describes how sympoietic vocal practice brings her into resonance with the world in different ways, creating a complex network of relationships within her body between various vocal identities. Stories are told about how her many voices and the environment exist in a mutually stimulating feedback relationship. She gives examples of how her sympoietic voice collaborates with the polyphonies of other-than-human voices. She communicates with voices sounding from objects, and at the same time is influenced by them. Does her voice remain human, or will it become the other?
