The following collection of works invites an online audience into the utopian, both tender and forceful sound worlds of 17 artists living and working today in the fields of music, sound, and performance art. The human voice - in it’s freest, most fluid, iridescent, queer and resilient forms - is celebrated here as a space of protest, consolation and radical intimacy.

Starting with the voice at its most naked, both permeable and permeating state in Audrey Chen’s ‘Heavy’ from 2018, the playlist interrogates the human voice’s pulsating and elastic ability to shape and ‘become with’ (Donna Haraway).

Throughout this playlist, the human voice gradually forms relations of ‘becoming with’ varying symbionts - with bodies, technologies, instruments, bands, hormones, scores, electricity, algorithms, synthesisers, stories; from Sofia Jernberg & Lene Grenager's, Marcela Lucatelli's, Tanya Tagaq's and Alex Paxton & Mayah Kadish’s, intricate and fantastical weavings of instrumental and vocal hybrid-fabrics, to Neo Hülcker & Andy Ingamells’ fabulation of Hülcker’s transitioning voice tracing the fragilities and in-between spaces of waterdrops and shattering glass in to the radically vulnerable and intimately synthesised scenes unfolding in MICHAELBRAILEY’s 2020 debut EP ‘the broken heart is more than a metaphor it is terraforming in action’, Olivia Shortt’s bagosendan, part 3 ("wish for, hope for, desire it") and Nguyễn + Transitory’s ‘Bird Bird, Touch Touch, Sing Sing’ and ‘Postcards 25.10.18’ flooding into Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s voice becoming ‘River Dreams’ (2020) until we, ‘changed, like a tree, broken, or flower’ (Alan Ginsberg), finally reach a ‘whole new world’ (Sophie Xeon) in Merzbows ‘Woodpecker No. 1’ , Diamanda Galas’ Schrei x Album from 1996, Mikky Blanco’s ‘Cyber Dog’ and ‘GDF Interlude’ and three tracks from the late SOPHIE’s 2018 visionary debut LP ‘the oil of every pearls uninsides’.
