Art of Performance — Dimensions of Voice: Colin Self (11.30.21)
12/11/21 • 21 min
“Dimensions of Voice” highlights 3 artists who use voice as a central instrument; as landscape, sound bath, conjuring device, and fluid transmission between worlds, binaries, time and space.
An extension of the Art of Performance Series, “Dimensions of Voice” is a broadcast of sets by Colin Self, Odeya Nini and Anna Oxygen, all who engage in composing practices that center voice tripping, voice improvisation, and voice as a cosmic force for community connection.
Colin Self is an artist and composer based in Berlin. They create music, performance and environments for expanding consciousness, troubling binaries and boundaries of perception and communication. They work with communities across disciplines and practices, using voices, bodies, and computers as tools to interface with biological and technological software. Self is a Rhizome Commission Grant recipient for video project ClumpTV, a Queer Art Mentorship Fellow, and was an Eyebeam Resident in 2016. They are a co-founder of queer collective Chez Deep and The Radical Diva Grant, and was a vocalist and performer for the band SSION. Self runs a non-utilitarian choir internationally, and has released several albums including a solo album “Siblings”, on RVNG International in 2018

Art of Performance — Dimensions of Voice: Odeya Nini (11.30.21)
“Dimensions of Voice” highlights 3 artists who use voice as a central instrument; as landscape, sound bath, conjuring device, and fluid transmission between worlds, binaries, time and space. An extension of the Art of Performance Series, “Dimensions of Voice” is a broadcast of sets by Colin Self, Odeya Nini and Anna Oxygen, all who engage in composing practices that center voice tripping, voice improvisation, and voice as a cosmic force for community connection. Odeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are textural harmony, gesture, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Odeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals around the US and internationally from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv, Canada, Mongolia and Vietnam. Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts.
