'Mouthpieces'
In the Mouthpieces, the voice is used as an instrument of sound production rather than as a vehicle of identity. Linguistic meaning is not the voice’s goal.
The construction of the vocal text is often based on linguistic structure—vowel-consonant formation and the principle of the allophone—and is relatively quiet, with a high percentage of breath.
The Mouthpieces presuppose a state of listening. They engage physiology rather than psychology.
The construction of the vocal text is relatively quiet, (thus needing amplification): “lightness, and merging, about formlessness.”
