In Three Songs (2007), O’Connor couples extended vocal techniques with the ukulele. In this piece, O’Connor was particularly interested in what scholars of phonetics call the “vowel pool”: the matrix of all possible vowels. No single language uses all the vowels contained in the vowel pool; English speakers use only a limited number. For Three Songs O’Connor extends his “pool” to include vowels used in Polish, Estonian, Chinese, Japanese and several other languages. These are notated using a combination of the International Phonetic Alphabet and photographs of the landscape around South Dublin County. The latter are used in conjunction with cross-sections of the vocal tract to indicate specific tongue-positions to the singer. In this work, the macrological geographical structures of South Dublin are replicated micrologically in the singer’s mouth, producing vowel sounds from Vilnius, Tibet and Berlin. Performed by Jennifer Walshe.
