Last summer, I was part of the collaborative, experimental sound art residency Field Kitchen Academy in Perleberg, Germany (outside of Berlin), studying with sonic thinker and composer Sam Auinger. I created some works with the female-identifying and non-binary residents, recording their voices individually in an 1830s old rusted barn silo. The inside of the silo had a swastika chalked on wall from vandals.

Our residency theme was the Voice as Object, the Object (h)as Voice and each participant repeated the phrase in their 1st language.
