This exposition departs from the silence of a non-existing voice. A voice about to touch the ears and eyes of both author and readers/listeners. A voice already sounding in the head of the author - sounding as thoughts, words, letters and sentences. A non/voice being part of a never ending development of new materialities. An onto-epistemological voice diffracted through a singer's process of making sense of a lesson from a 17th century vocal manuscript. A voice as a mattering method for the art of singing through new materialist theories, vocal and discursive narratives and somatic awareness.

A quest to belonging
My role within music and meaning-making
This reflection is about my quest to find my own folklore, which turned ou to be a quest for belonging. Along the way, I discovered that what I was truly searching for was a sense of belonging and deeper meaning in my life as a human being and musician. My master’s study became an exploration of existential questions, providing me with greater understanding. This quest changed my perspective on being a musician, proving to be life-changing. The journey initiated by this master’s study will continue beyond graduation. Within these two years, through this existential quest for belonging and learning from different wisdom traditions, I found my folklore, because I found out a little bit more about myself. This led to discovering my purpose as a musician and how I want to dedicate the rest of my life to it.
