voice, evolution, evolability, Acoustic Ecology, sonology, resonance, developmental psychology 

Taking a recording I made of a resonant cathedral space in Berlin, I sought to compose a sequence of frames that might reveal the complex relationships of reflective surfaces by creating gaps and juxtapositions of diverse moments, a sonic cubist approach. I was interested in finding traces that reinforce both the silence and the sound by venturing into a ruptured temporal fabric. My body, my device. Sound that reveals the silence, the interplay between calm and turbulence, the rustling thresholds of clothing etc. One of the revealing sounds was that of an infant. In the manipulation of the sound file the child's voice undergoes a metamorphosis. I leave it to the listeners to have their own experience of this transformation. The pure play of voice as it reaches the limits of it own articulation evolves with the aid of digital means toward an otherness and echoes the lost or forgotten voices perhaps recovered in this moment between birth and extinction.
