In Barthes' essay, "The Grain of the Voice", the concept of the
"genosong" was evoked to separate the sound of the voice from its
language. Visual Music for Ten Voices distinguishes the physicality of
the optical vocal track as having a unique identity from its actual
resonance in sound films. Designed as a 10-foot black box projection
loop, this film focuses on the rhythm and materiality of ten 35mm
optical soundtracks. Each musical passage maintains its original length
and linear harmony with the other tracks, collectively creating a new
sense of motion and repetition.
