I'm honored to have been invited to this incredible new project by Carmina Escobar and Micaela Tobin.
Crossing the vastness of shared space, the HOWL is a primal force of expressive, open communication and release, a mesmerizing free call that not only connects us to each other but to the outer and inner landscape of our creative, performing bodies.
Sound artists and vocal experimenters Carmina Escobar @carminaescobar and Micaela Tobin @white_boy_scream have united their unique praxises to form HOWL SPACE, a boundless and focused virtual space for exploring, expressing, and connecting the relational, artistic, musical, and medicinal possibilities of the voice and vocal traditions.
By offering individual sessions, workshops, a series of salons with guest artists and producers whose practices focus on different aspects of the holistic voice, HOWL SPACE offers both personalized and group development. This space is for anyone interested in expanding the possibilities of their expressive voice. All ranges of experience, creative goals, artistic practices and styles are welcome!
This workshop aims to explore the internal voice and its powerful minimal expression, The Hum. We’ll explore the ability of sitting softly: learning how to listen to the inner voice and to be able to tune yourself to soft sounds. This space will focus on breathing techniques, listening exercises, gentle vocal warm-ups, and will conclude with the attempt of performing an iteration of Pauline Oliveros’ Sonic Meditation XVI to be realized on the virtual space in an aim to figure new paths of connecting in the distance.
