The Improvised Vocal Forum is a brilliant web resource and community based in Sweden bringing together, with short profiles, some of the world's most interesting sound poets and vocalisers. I'm chuffed to have a small slice of the pie, with a new cool name and such. Check it out https://www.improvisedvocalforum.com/ endless exploring
A note on: performing with Phil Minton
An amazing privilege to perform an improvised sound poetry piece with the legendary Phil Minton on October Friday 7th 2016 at Kings Place, London.
For over fifty years Phil Minton has been performing, singing, vocalising around the world. He absolutely has shaped, even defined, free vocalisation and improvised sound poetry since WWII. To get to work with him for the first time, with no prior preparation, no conversation about what we'd do before the performance even, was such an honour, and beautiful / terrifying in equal measure. So important for me to feel I'm crossing over with the greats of previous generations. This was a real landmark for me.

A great night overall too, closing out the Hubbub residency in a sense, with some fine work from James Wilkes, Emma Bennett, Phaedra ensemble and others making it a varied and intense evening of performance.
