With Imani Mason Jordan an d Nikita Sena; and Third Gut (Raoni / Mu zho Saleh and Alec Mateo).

Timbre knows what happened. It does. Voi ces are containers and content at the same time. Voice is ship and load. T his evening, the second in Voice as Landscape‘s new focus on song , is dedicated to exploring the voice as an instrument through two artisti c collaborations that propose diverse approaches to this.

Voice is an instrument made of flesh and air. One that is sentient, that remembers, that is haunted. A glass of water now can clear a voice but a voice is ul timately an aftermath—of that body’s life and others that preceded it.

It is also a resource we have, one that moves through different emotio nal spectrums and layers of knowledge. As a resource it is one we can save , we can lend and we can of course instrumentalize to put forth in sound o wn ideas of world. Both proposals of the evening explore meaning and poeti cs of voicings beyond language.

Imani Mason Jordan and Nikita Sena will be visiting from Italy and the UK, respectively. Together they have been exploring the potentials of sound ma tter found in text and language beyond its literality. In their procedures they incorporate repetition, improvisation and archive to distort preconc eived forms of meanings but also produce new ones that resignify establish ed structures of sense.

This evening will be the first public offer ing of Third Gut. Third Gut is where Raoni / Muzho Saleh‘s and Alec Mateo’s prac tices meet. A space for them to explore transformative sounding, built on noise, vocality, performance and sacred mourning traditions. Raoni, drawin g from the Shia mourning tradition, works with the wail as an embodied exp ression of grief, that carries in it emancipatory potentials and political urgencies, and Alec works with sound as a way to negotiate a fugitive rel ationship to memory, world, and subject building.

Imani Mas on Jordan is an interdisciplinary writer, artist, editor and cura tor interested in poetics and performance. Imani has written numerous arti cles, reviews, essays, poems, plays and love letters, some of which they h ave published. Since 2016, they have developed a keen interest in poetics, oration, experimentation and practices of reading aloud, from which they have synthesised a performance practice that centres writing and collabora tion as well as using the speaking voice as an instrument. After completin g their MA in Forensic Architecture at Goldsmiths in 2019, their pamphlet OBJECTS WHO TESTIFY was published by Taylor Le Melle at PSS. Iman i is also Director of PAPERFLESH PUBLISHING, a multi-genre small press and editing studio for the intellectually rigorous, politically-mind ed black writer. Since 2019, Imani has collaborated extensively with Rabz Lansiquot as part of the artistic and curatorial duo Languid Hands.

Nikita Sena is a curator, writer and researcher from Lon don, by way of Ghana. Her practice is informed by experimental pedagogies and the connection between aesthetic forms and their socio-political impli cations. Nikita is currently rifling through notions of ephemerality and a bjection, discomfort, inappropriateness and desire. A former curatorial fe llow on the New Curators programme, Nikita is now part of the curatorial t eam working on the Kerry James Marshall exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Third Gut is an experimental sonic performa nce project between Raoni/Muzho Saleh and Alec Mateo, who, in their noisy bemoaned togetherness form a psycho-somatic space for undergoing the alche mical. A sonic tissue that lures the collective into the muddy waters of d iscomfort, where becoming disturbed reveals a desired futurity. It is thro ugh the generative force of noise as sound, that Third Gut aims to undo th e brutality which masks as enlightened civility.

Raoni/Muzh o Saleh (1991 AFG/NL) is an artist with a bachelor‘s degree in Li terary and Cultural Analysis (UvA) and a bachelor’s degree in Choreography (SNDO). Their work is influenced by fugitivity, a revolutionary movement that shapes his artistic vision. By dancing through the gender spectrum, R aoni has developed a unique movement practice that emphasises becoming “ot her” and choreographing a continuous state of incompleteness. Through the use of materials such as fabrics, textile, dough, voice and text, Raoni in vites a serious kind of play into the space where both spectators and perf ormers can become immersed in otherworldly narratives. His intimate relati onship with the materiality of artistic practice allows for an ongoing neg otiation of a wayward becoming.

Alec Mateo is a Do minican artist from New York working with language, sound, and performance to explore the potentials of fugitivity; an attempt to negotiate the rela tionships between narrative and subject.
