Vocal Systems: More Singing Without Words or Language
90.7-FM in NY's Upper Hudson Valley and wgxc.org/listen everywhere

Produced by Dave Evans
During this show we explore jump from continent to continent to listen to some beautiful examples of singing that doesn't rely on words or language, but uses vocal sounds, syllables, or tones to convey emotion, rhythm or melody.
"Vocal Systems" explores different types of voice and is part of ongoing research by artist Dave Evans. The show investigates the (human) voice as the individual expression of a connected system and asks if the sounds generated by other assemblages and systems could be considered as voice too. To extend this idea into practice, other non-human forms and systems will co-host the show, speak, and sing. Dave is based in Liverpool, UK, and his work explores how complex networks appear to us and how we can represent them for ourselves.
