An evening of sound performances exploring the human voice.

From Stockhausen to Lucier, Burroughs to Berio, Ono to Wishart, the human voice has always been a compelling stimulant and component of experimentation within the field of sound. Whether it be acousmatic transformation, mangled language or feral extended techniques, the most primal and universal of all instruments has enabled esoteric innovation to remain rooted comprehensibly in the tangible and physical.

Gwaith Sŵn, a London-based collective of artists, present an evening of live sound performances at Cafe OTO's Project Space that will explore and celebrate the potential of the human voice. Whatever their background - performative improvisation, soundscaping, choreography, digital/analogue audio manipulation - all the contributors have taken the voice as their sonic starting point for this event.

Francis Patrick Brady, Kevin Ka Wei Chan, Sam Conran, Paul Freeman, Sarah Louise Kristiansen, Dan Linn-Pearl, Jonathan Mayne, Gyorgy Ono, Stephen Christopher Stamper.
