Is the voice like an instrument or is it the other way around? Can the voice communicate as pure sound or is it always entangled with language? How does the gendering of voice shape conventions of performance and composition in Gospel music? Chamber music? Vedic chant? Think through this stuff with #BlackComposer Darius Jones, vocal experimenter Amirtha Kidambi, Canadian singer/songwriter Thanya Iyer, and IISCI’s own Kevin McNeilly of UBC. Sound It Out airs on CFRU in Guelph on Tuesdays at 5pm. New episodes usually appear on a fortnightly basis. Sound It Out is produced and hosted by Rachel Elliott in conjunction with the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation. This episode aired on Tuesday November 5, 2018.
