More Sound Than Sense with Samuel Brzeski

​Artist, writer and publisher Samuel Brzeski will give an introduction to his publishing project, Vibrational Semantics, and also read a text from his newly published book, Tips of the Sung.

​Vibrational Semantics focuses on the elaboration, documentation and investigation of the voice. The publications and sound works in the series explore the voice’s ability to shift seamlessly between signification and sonority, from speech sound to noise. Questions of linguistic ambiguity, embodied voicing and points where feeling and meaning overlap are investigated in relation to the place and presence of the performed voice. So far, this has included visual scores, creative essays, interdisciplinary writing and sound works commissioned from artists, writers, performers and vocalists.

​Tips of the Sung is a collection of interdisciplinary texts composed over the past five years whilst Samuel has been Associate Artist at Lydgalleriet, Bergen. The collection brings together performance scripts for voice and video with newly composed texts for the page. Centring on the vibrations of the voice, the texts exist somewhere between signification and delirium, at times making more sound than sense.
