voice and inverted dynamics http://www.alansondheim.org/azurevoice.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/azurevoice.mp3 inverted dynamics foregrounds background/body sounds, parasite and interference, abject re/constitution of sonic production; azure sings thru her sickness, pauses filled by screams 'out in' the street below; her voice loses sonority, breaks down into gravel/grating coughs and gaspings, she makes it thru the song, the someone screaming has moved on, sounds of traffic, body; the song is marriage to language, language broken by sickness; we remember the catastrophic and fragile peak of goodness in the midst of what might go wrong, returned and foregrounded here as parasitic content. enjoy, despair, enjoy. azure carter, marriage to language, unknown male screaming
