Duration: 30 minutes
Livestream (during the festival’s dates) here 

Utterings is a project by Annie Abrahams (FR) and Daniel Pinheiro (PT) with Constança Carvalho Homem (PT), Curt Cloninger(US),Nerina Cocchi (BE) and Derek Piotr (US) as invited artists and collaborators and with technical assistance by Jan de Weille.

Utterings is a sound-only networked performance experiment where six artists commit to a 30 min long exchange across distance. The artists gather online and, while blindfolded, they engage in utterings as communication, building on solo’s, duo’s, chorales and silence, creating an on the fly “new” language that forwards attention, trust and affects above rationality. Six sound streams (no instruments used) are interlaced and entangled in one single polyphonic composition shared live in the audioblast program. The protocol for this performance will be written collectively in the week before the performance and will be available here.
Utterings is a collaborative attempt to go beyond the borders and closures created by languages, opening up and transgressing these in a performance that probes meaning through pre-language communication and formerly un-inhabited expressions.
