| Eleanor Clare 'My Horn is a Chalice' image by Klara Sofie Ludvigsen |
The sun is
bright and the sky clear, but the wind is cool and bracing. A satin cape beats about the body, flat
across the chest and flying out behind.
Arms spread wide feel the breeze lift the fabric as though it were wings. The shadow cast is a tall proud creature, the
slender translucent horn atop its head almost floating out in advance of the
rest of the body, elevating it beyond its means.

As I rose up from the ground I was asked to imagine. Where was I?
What is this landscape? It was
springtime, in a grassy verdure on the edge of a forest, bluebells scattered
along the path, and a stream. This was
somewhere in the land of fairytales; an idyllic place. But the Unicorn is not as I expected it to
be. It appears to come out of the sky.
It is like a cloud that comes to life. Its
huge head and mane start to circle around me. It nuzzles around my whole
body. I sense that it is extremely
loving and caring. It is not quite of
flesh; it is more an apparition. When it disappears, it vanishes just like a
vapour trail, back up into the sky. I am
left standing in this landscape all alone.

A Voice and Something Else
As a group, Sofie Knudsen Jansson, Elisabeth Færøy Lund and myself were delegates at this practice based conference in Aberystwyth convened by Rebecca Louise Collins and Marios Chatziprokopiou.
The purpose of the unique practice-based conference format was to forge relations amongst a range of academics, professionals, and artists all working in relation to the voice and listening. The conference fostered working relationships, collaborations, and further possibilities for knowledge production through creative means.
Bringing together scholars, practitioner's and artists who may or may not have a common critical or practical approach to the subject area, stimulated intellectual debate, discussions, and practices in an ever-expanding niche area.

Rubbestadneset residency for A Voice and Something Else
In preparation for our presentation at the conference A Voice and Something Else, we worked phonetically and aurally from the vantage point of our own three languages, Norwegian, Danish and English with the Norwegian song Kjerkegård ved Havet, melody by Moddi and lyrics by Helge Stangnes. The song is performed by Moddi here:
Lyrics here: http://www.moddi.no/lyrics.html#kjerkegaardvedhavet
This is a song that has been written in the folk tradition, which originally used primarily the oral as it's source of distribution between communities. We focused our attention on the nuances of emotion and diction in each others' rendition of the verses. Listening and vocal mimeses were our main tools in this exercise.

Lofoten Residency for A Voice and Something Else
A week long residency in Lofoten with Sofie Knudsen Jansson and Elisabeth Færøy Lund in preparation for the A Voice and Something Else conference held at the University of Aberystwyth. Here we experimented with a day of silence, a listening tour by each of us - allowing ourselves to hear what is often overlooked, especially in nature, and a series of vocal and physical exercises in which we explored perception and communication.
eye contact becomes charged when words are not spoken
we heard birds while we were hidden
the sound of ice melting, dripping drop by drop
the roar of the ocean travelling far out into the horizon
