She stated as the classical training in vocal and cello, and she is the vocalist who is doing experimental improvisational performance. During the lecture, she talked a lot about her story: how she become sound artist, how her personal story shape her practice now. The identity as an individual and her life-experience drive her to create her own sonic language. She said most of her work didn’t have the specific intention which she just expressing herself by improvise and also listen to other player. Her lecture reminded me that sometime we don’t have to have a clear intention to achieve something or showing something huge. We can just be ourselves.
This also can be applied in improvisation. During the workshop, she said the best state of mind while improvising is to get lost. Be present. It is a bit like mediation. Let the body and instinct dive you around. Sonically, I am not the big fans of her works, but the idea of how to improvise really inspire me and remind me of how to create my own arts work. Everyone have their story and history, and those shape who we are and it all shows in our creation, so embrace them.
