listen / thel
Aisha Altenhofen
listen / thel is a soundsculpture and performance by Elena Herrmann and Aisha Altenhofen. Following the narrative of William Blake's Thel the piece is vocally investigating emotions and sensations of pleasure, pain and emptiness. A mute figure is playing a stone harp growing out of the soil, creating a composition, a crescendo of female-read voices shifting between coded associations and abstraction.
