First up we have Scrying the Landscape w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack
Glossolalia is the act of speaking in tongues; a spiritual encounter whereby a mysterious entity infects the body with an alien language. For the fifth iteration of Scrying the Landscape, Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack take the voice as their focus, gathering songs together which activate a neural network of vocal intelligence that is non-linear and non-grammatical. Words devoid of meaning, devotional chants and spliced-up utterances, are harnessed to connect with hidden parts of the world and ourselves, to reveal that which cannot be given an identity. How do we talk about what we don’t see? How do we understand that which cannot be said? The divine is pre-alphabetic; the ineffable that is a priori to signification or the arrangement of a symbolic order. Forsaking direct linguistic capacities opens space for interpreting pressure points; temporal turbulence in phonetic structures, and the attack of vocalisation to articulate that which can not be articulated.
