Voice as Movement and a Spiritual “in-between”

Abstract

My practice as a singer–composer explores the sonorous expressivity of poetic language in a relational multi-layered meaning-making process. Drawing on a studio-centred contemplative approach, I focus on the intertwined and liminal spaces between my creative process and personal contemplative practices. My writing is a hybrid autoethnographic and poetic-postcritical engagement within a theoretical frame centred on the work of Robert Fripp and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. I re-envision and re-imagine artistic discipleship, that is, the artist as disciple of the Muse – defining the Muse, in part, as the energy signature of a creative discipline. This energetic presence evolves and morphs as an inspired, externally perceived sacred source and as an internal guide inherent to the human psyche and to the artist’s creative process.
