Vocal Streams

In Vocal Streams, Agustín Genoud explores the voice as a living field. Drawing on decades of performance, workshops, and theoretical inquiry, he reimagines vocality by tracing unexpected connections between the human body and the spaces, machines, and histories that shape the voice. Blending essay, theory, autobiography, and practical exercises drawn from his Trans-Synthetic Vocal Workshops, the book follows the voice through bodily organs, resonant caves, microphones, ancestral architecture, animal songs, and AI-generated voices. Along the way, it asks where voices begin and end, how they shape the boundaries between inside and outside, and what becomes possible when we stop treating the voice as exclusively human. At once intimate and speculative, Vocal Streams is both a meditation on singing and a practical invitation to sing.

Agustín Genoud (1984, Argentina) is a performer, musician, and academic specializing in contemporary voice and posthumanism. His work focuses on designing systems that expand vocal production through machinic and animalistic gestures, exploring processes of vocal dehumanization and sound deterritorialization. He is a recipient of the Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD (2024) scholarship. His performances and workshops have reached global platforms such as Documenta 15, CTM Festival, and the Teatro Colón. He conducted workshops, talks, and presentations in Freie Universität Berlin, Bauhaus Universität, and National University for the Arts, bridging the gap between experimental artistic practice and academic research in sound art and new media.
