AN AMATEUR CHOIR 2026

The shelter, retreating to the shelter 
the cave, the cave
the sound box between the shelter walls
the acoustics of the drawings
there where it sounds
we’ve been here for eight years and never sung a full song 

Beyond the end we have never sung
of those lost to the river
from the river to sea
cocorococo

Beyond the urgency-attention
uncertain-subtle-unfinished-unspeakable-invisible
attention intention
being in the phase, in the 3rd phase, not of autonomy but of self-management 
corococo coco cocorococuuuuuuuu

Beyond a new gentleness
that must be invented 
becoming a body of affectations
a beast of a thousand heads with a thousand tongues
reemerges in the shelter of the cave

An amateur choir is a creative project in which any kind of voice is welcome to participate. Every other Thursday, we do our own research sessions as well as sessions with artists who work with voice and listening.
