My body is your voice is my self is my pleasure. When sharing a space with voicing bodies, moments of ephemeral transformations occur that can shift perceptions of our place in the world. Frisson, aesthetic chills, attunement, psychogenic shivers, social frequencies, skin orgasm, sweet spots.

Is listening a lonely practice, or does it blur the distinction between individuals and their surroundings, an opportunity for momentarily escaping the self or getting a self back?
Can senses of belonging be orchestrated? Is the composer a collective body?
Do I need to move my lips be part of the choir?
Can my goosebumps sing?
