The act of talking and listening to oneself at the same time turns our voices into a score for which we are both performers and audience. We don’t tend to listen to ourselves talking; we don’t pay attention to how we sound, to the uniqueness of our sound. Where is my voice? How is voice produced? Is voice a text? Who is sounding when my voice is sounding? MI VOZ ES UN JARRÓN is a brief vocal study in which I use three instruments: my voice, a jug and a microphone. It’s a kind of selfportrait in sound that needs to be listened to by myself but mostly by others in order for the transformatory experience it proposes to be completed.
