| Abstract | This project’s starting point is An Cloch Labhrais (The Speaking Stone), a huge glacial erratic made from conglomerate puddingstone rock. Located in Co. Waterford in Ireland, it is known as a ‘truth’ telling oracle stone. According to legend, the dramatic crack in the stone occurred after a woman perjured herself in its presence – her untruth causing it to split in two. Mouthnotes reclaims the stone’s split, and reimagines it as a mouth from which a multitude of utterances and un/speakable things leak and spill. In this disorderly form of self-expression, non-conforming vocalisations flow up to her mouth and out through her tongue (Carson, 2005). Through the logic of the the vocal warm-up, the work simultaneously stutters and echoes the order of language, numeracy, and structured behaviour. Breaking away from preconfigured expectations and narratives, mouths and voices separate and reunite, unearthing an imagined enunciation (LaBelle, 2014). In the work, these plural erratic agencies emerge through a series of audio-visual polyvocal Mouthnotes. |

| Additional information | Mouthnotes (2022) is a single-channel audio-visual installation with multichannel sound (5 minutes 33 seconds). The work can be viewed in entirity here: https://vimeo.com/758518941?share=copy (please use headphones). |
| Spatial and technical requirements | There are 3 potential formats: 1. An installation with projection and stereo 'rock' speakers (in a darkened room). I can provide the rock speakers; they look similar to these: https://www.kbaudio.co.uk/products/osd-audio-rs670-outdoor-rock-speakers-granite See a similar installation here: https://www.katefahey.co.uk/Mouthnotes 2. Installed on a screen, with headphones (or additionally with the rock speakers). 3. Installed as stereo sound-only played through the rock speakers. |
