/vOICE/fLuX/ is a four minute sound piece comprised of four distinct human voices. Each voice reflects upon their unique and personal journey to London encompassing travels from Sri Lanka, Jamaica, India and the UK. Feelings of flow, movement and the fluidity of identity are evoked musically through the piece using experimental sounds and original composition produced with an MPC and a sonic echo machine. Echo is used to sonically signify the rupturing of the self through movement and migration. /vOICE/fLuX/ seeks to prompt new thought on the ways in which our voices (and identities) are continually in flux.
