You opened my mouth

our tongues exposed

our bodies softened

you inhaled my lungs

I exhaled my sins...

We molded our lips

with words of clay

residue of breaths

an echo, a stain...

in rooms of

mouths to frame

 

The concept of this piece is to speculate how humans would interact intimately with each other in the future.

What if humans communicate like animals without words, speaking in sounds, utterances, and nonsensical lyrics.

Where humans speak a language that expresses musically in a more abstracted, liquid-like, and poetic way.

What if our voices and our bodies transformed and enhanced when we are engaged in an intimate conversation.

What if our emotions, feelings, sexual desires, urges and our internal needs emitted visually and musically from our physical bodies to communicate other humans in a more primitive, vulnerable, and animalistic manner. The human voice is the only instrument that is built inside our bodies, and it is the most primitive musical instrument of humanity. I wanted to use live electronics to treat the voice as a way to exaggerate or project our emotions, feelings, desires and the human condition in a direct way. To my own understanding, what makes us humans is when we feel at our most vulnerable, softest, raw, instinctive state, and more importantly, when we feel most human.
