Approaching Language
Manon Bachelier+
Manon Bachelier is a french graphic designer, whose practice is concerned with the ways the voice resonates through text and letters, and engender new textural lives. Experimenting different modes of address via writing and publishing, she privileges collective projects which host conversations, or open grounds for more of them.
"That music which I can't be the only one to hear" is a polyphonic cut-up song. Silently released, the words, verses, breaths and rhymes make their own connections onto paper and into the space inside which they echo.
Neither a score nor a recording, the installation lies more on the side of performance, calling up paper and words as active mouth and voices.
Contemplating the agency of words to sing themselves, the song also recites the wider research into the written voice that it is sampled from.
Undulating around, the song (and its in-scripted logics) amplifies as you read and listen.
