Vocal Practice

My background in voice and choral singing informs my current practice of using a megaphone to amplify and manipulate under-appreciated sounds like sucks, squeaks, and salivic textures. By filtering these sounds through the megaphone, I create novel and intriguing textures that I integrate into contemporary music settings.

This exploration stems from two desires: firstly, to find a unique performative role within ensembles, and secondly, to indulge my penchant for creating unusual mouth sounds.

These sonic explorations take shape in two forms: live performances where I combine vocal manipulation with electronic control (as seen in my work Stone Compression), and short Instagram video pieces showcasing the captured sounds.
