Abstract or Description

In 2013, Barry Truax observed that “The human voice … is arguably central to acoustic communication and our interaction with the world” (Truax 2013 p. 61). Despite this claim, made about a decade ago, the use of the human voice in field-recording based practices is still not often discussed.

This paper focusses on the human voice in field recording based practices, its role in mapping specific locales. How do voices contribute to how we hear places on the one hand, and to how we convey place on the other? How do we make use of other's people's voices? How do we handle our own utterances in this process?

To explore these questions the author will take her own work as a point of departure, touching on historical contact points and exploring current practice and thinking.
