Abstract
In 2005, Erin Gee was a guest artist at the Akiyoshidai International Art Village where she returned to teach and perform in 2006.
In the Mouthpieces, the voice is used as an instrument of sound production rather than as a vehicle of identity. Linguistic meaning is not the voice’s goal. The construction of the vocal text is often based on linguistic structure — vowel-consonant formation and the principle of the allophone—and is relatively quiet, with a high percentage of breath. The Mouthpieces presuppose a state of listening. They engage physiology rather than psychology.
