About this exposition

I am in the process of designing a tool I named “reflex voice”. It combines previous research on automatic, emotionally triggered vocalisation –see the notion of primal sound in the work of J. Chapman and O. Brown– with theatre techniques which predicate embodied emotion –see the Sanskrit performance treatise Natyasastra. The goal of reflex voice is to enhance my vocal expression in singing. During my artistic research as a master student in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, I started developing the tool and applying it to my own practice as a singer. In this article, I discuss my first experiment concerning the application of reflex voice to a 17th century piece by Nicholas Lanier. I introduce briefly the central concepts concerning the new tool, I describe the experiment and provide a first analyses of how this tool influenced my performance.
