A Po(i)etics of the Disembodied Voice is a work which focuses on the sonic potential of the voice as a phenomenon in its own right, separated from the body. In all ancient cultures and traditions, voice and orality have always played a fundamental role in the transmission of culture, and of course in the act of communication among living species.
With the advent of the Gutenberg era, with the introduction of printing, sight took over from hearing: there was a shift from an oral culture to a visual, ocular-centric culture, in which the sense of seeing acquired greater weight and importance than the sense of hearing.
Although this, the hearing has always occupied an important place in modern society through the reinvigoration of media such as radio. In recent years, especially if we see at the past year, when it was physically impossible to move,
see and meet with each other, the voice through radio, podcasts, web platforms of various kinds, vocal messages etcetera has managed to overcome the barriers of the real world to connect people with each other. It has achieved a level of awareness that was previously missing or taken for granted.
If we jump back in history, before the invention of electronic and electroacoustic devices for recording and transmitting sounds, every sound was original and inextricably linked to the source that produced it. This separation of the original
sound from its source and its recording was first discussed by R. Murray Schaefer who conceived this condition of separation as a phenomenon called “Schizophonia”.
Following the operating mechanism of Schizophonia, a similar separation also occurs between the voice and the body: there is a partition of one from the other through the fragmentation and omnipresence of new media and technologies. The voice thus becomes an unknown, mysterious territory, a fluctuating and ethereal phenomenon.
There is a liberation of the voice from the signifying words, from metrical and grammatical structures of discourse through the destruction and fragmentation of the discourse itself, of the words themselves, preferring to the semantic aspect the sound aspect, which is full of expressive and communicative power. Indeed, properties such as voice modulation, tonality, expressiveness, quality, vocabulary, cadence, rhythm, accente, volume etcetera carry a subtext of cultural meanings that are lost with the written text, which is marginalised, as opposed to the evanescence of the voice.
All this provokes an emotional response different from the meaning of the words themselves. Hence, the audio is the text, a sound text in which words act together with sounds and silences creating a dramaturgy of voices without a body.
On the basis of this, I like to think this work can increase and extend the awareness of having a voice, physically and metaphorically speaking, and using it in the most diverse and unconventional ways to explore hidden or seemingly meaningless cultural levels.

Premiere: Javano - Origin

Taken from Brendon Moeller - Vacuum [SMDE45]

Released on 2 Limited Vinyl Edition 12"s and Digital - https://brendonmoellerechologistbeatpharmacy.bandcamp.com/album/vacuum

Esteemed musical chameleon Brendon Moeller, renowned for his highly respected work in Deep Ambient, Dub Techno and a myriad of variations on these themes - turns his hand to 170 for Samurai Music.

Vacuum is the first fruits of this collaboration and encompasses a cross section of his approach to the tempo. Dub-wise 170 that hints at a deeper version of autonomic, but ultimately invents a new sound that only Brendon and his analogue dungeon could conjure. 30 years of mastering the art of the deep filtered through an all new tempo lens.

Vacuum is a gentle 6 track record that will become a close companion to those tuned to, or open to embracing the rewards of Brendons impeccable sound design and mastery of immersive, minimalist warmth.
