"The language of action is spoken by the body; and yet, it is not something given from the very first. All nature permits is that man, in the various situations in which he finds himself, should be able to make gestures; his face is agitated by movements; he emits inarticulate cries – in other words, cries that are 'coined neither by the tongue nor by the lips'. All this is not yet either language or even sign, but the effect and consequence of our animality. This manifest agitation nevertheless has the virtue of being universal, since it depends solely upon the conformation of our organs. Hence the possibility for man to observe that it is identical in himself and his companions. He is therefore able to associate the cry he hears from another's mouth, the grimace he sees upon that other's face, with the same representations that have, on several occasions, accompanied his own cries and movements. He is able to accept this mimesis as the mark and substitute of the other's thought. As a sign. Comprehension is beginning. He can also, in return, employ this mimesis that has become a sign in order to excite in his companions the idea that he himself is associated with certain gestures and certain sounds: a cry expressly directed in another's presence and toward an object, a pure interjection. With this concerted use of the sign (which is already expression), something like a language is in the process of being born.

about

Improvised, A capella. Singing in Pure Cry, an intuitive-language technique I've developed, inspired by the theories of Michel Foucault.

When I use this vocal technique I am able to reach depths within my being that are not accessible at other times. As I am singing, I am in a trance-like state. I often experience visions and am very clear about what I am expressing as I am vocalizing. The word-forms that I create are a way of communicating beyond the constraints of established language. It is not meant to be translated. The meaning is intended to be received through feeling and intuition.

I have had the great privilege of exploring and developing this technique with the improvised psych-rock band Dire Wolves. There are several releases available of our collaborations on various labels.
