about

For 20 years, the core of my creative work has been a series of compositions called Mouthpieces. In these compositions I am often the performing vocalist. In all cases, my own experimental vocalizations strongly impact the compositional process. The Mouthpieces began as solo vocal works, devoid of semantic text or language and notated with the International Phonetic Alphabet.

In the Mouthpieces series, 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.
