about

This research explores how physical and non-physical environments influence creative practice and how Extended Vocal Techniques (EVT) may be used to build surround sound sonic environments for performance. Building upon my ongoing exploration of EVT, I investigate the integration of technologies with throat-singing to expand the practice; the impact of location on performance, improvisation, and composition, and compose new works. Four long form works for live performance by EVT practitioners and 46 composition experiments exploring the impact of physical and non-physical environments on my creative practices are documented through audio-visual media, audio recordings, written journal, and discussion of this process. The main pieces were presented at a live performance called Vowels in Retrograde. They were staged in a ritualistic context as a multisensory experience in a quadrophonic surround-sound environment. The works explored time, location, agency and control, ritual, and mental health. EVT go beyond the scope of Western classical singing aesthetics. They include reinforced overtone-singing and undertone-singing, Sprechgesang, and ingressive phonation among others (Edgerton, 2014).
