Print accompanying an exposition as a result of an artistic research project. Proposing a ‘multivocal practice’ in the vocal arts, this collection of essays and articles guide the user through the edifice of ideas that the project had unveiled. The project embodied an inclusive approach to four core categories for the contemporary performance voice: the singing, speaking, extended and disembodied voice. When voice and body meet technology-related practices that aim at the expansion of the vocal realm by using custom and gesture-controlled live electronics, a performance æsthetics of the in-between emerges. This is explored via the ‘strophonion’, formerly built at STEIM in Amsterdam and further developed by Berlin-based software programmer Sukandar Kartadinata. The exposition comprised video and audio documentation of public live performances, lectures and artists’ talks as well as studio productions and rehearsals.
