TRANSFORMATIONS

Transformations investigates the voice as a space of poetic, political, and intimate transformation. Moving between artistic research and experimental audio documentary, the project explores how vocal practices can become sites where language shifts, identities are negotiated, and sound operates as a medium of change. During the residency, Matto Zoppi conducted a series of recorded conversations, improvisation sessions, and listening sessions with artists whose work engages with the voice as a performative and compositional practice; among the contributors are Alessandra Eramo, Gabi Pedrosa, and Deva Schubert.

Residency at Errant Sound, Berlin, supported by Culture Moves Europe, March 2026.

The public presentation of this first phase of the research took the form of a lecture performance and collective listening session, presenting excerpts from the recordings alongside reflections on the research process. Through a combination of spoken narration, sound materials, and listening moments, the audience was invited to enter the project's evolving sonic landscape. Conceived as an ongoing work, Transformations aims to continue developing through further encounters, recordings, and compositional processes, taking shape as a series of audio episodes and listening-based works.
