https://claramosconi.com/Det-var-Peter-han-gik-i-klasse-med-Anders-pa-datalogi “… Det var Peter, han gik i klasse med Anders på datalogi” Performance “... Det var Peter, han gik i klasse med Anders på datalogi” [It was Peter, he took a data communications class with Anders”] is a performative reading of five transcribed conversations dealing with the limitations of language.

Ashamed of losing her voice, Echo hides out in the woods and one day sees Narcissus riding by on his horse. Echo falls madly in love with him at first sight, but as she is only able to repeat the last part of other people’s sentences, their communication is unclear and disclose an ambiguous play of desire and desperation. She fades away from heartbreak and turns into stones, bones and soil. Echo continues to repeat the sounds of the forest and earth.&nbsp; Skulpturparken Prøvestenen Syd, May 2022, Copenhagen.

It was exhibited in the context of the censored exhibition The Artists’ Fall Exhibition 2022 at Den Frie in Copenhagen.This piece started in Athens in the Spring 2020 while I was at a residency at the Danish Institute in Athens. Obsessed with the myth about the mountain nymph Echo described in Ovid’s metamorphosis, I went looking for the female vocal creature amongst the architecture and archeological sites of Athens. The journey intertwines with myths and tragedies by Euripides and Aristophanes as well as writings about women in the Ancient Greek society. The piece is a documentary listening experience in search of Echo’s voice as well as a tribute to silenced women in the history of Greece.A big thanks to Breton Cassette and Pernille Meidell for the releasing the tape, the collaboration, talks and friendship.The piece can be purchased and listened to through Bandcamp.

What happens if you lose your language, or no longer have access to the language you once knew? Can you even have a relationship if you don’t share a common language? These are some of the questions that formed the basis for the exhibition A voice means this: throat, chest, feelings. The exhibition stems from the experience of slowly losing grip with a second language, of building relationships outside of rational language, and of asking questions about what a mother tongue is and what it means. The exhibition is presented in two parts: The first part invites you inside an immersive 32-channel sound installation, where each symbol from a paralinguistic index is presented, improvised and repeated by a curious voice through 32 speakers. In the second part, conversations with three interviewees unfold about bilinguality in a video installation. A core concept for the exhibition is paralinguistics. The term covers the uncontrolled, non-verbal language that runs parallel to our rational language. &nbsp;As I have tried to define the paralinguistic concept, it has revealed a large field on the periphery of what is perceived as being language. A voice means this: throat, chest, feelings is an attempt to bring paralinguistic language to light. The exhibition examines what it means to communicate, how the paralinguistic language moves in the body and what we can use it for – because it is undeniably a part of being human. And maybe it reveals more about us than we think.

Having many languages is like having many selves. My language often feels dispersed. She hesitates before she speaks.”&nbsp; – Mirene Arsanios1 My relationship with Italian behaves in an almost mythical way. To be perfectly honest, whether or not I ever spoke Italian isn’t entirely clear to me. As a child, bolstered with uncompromising self-confidence, I was convinced that I could speak the language. I can clearly remember how I demonstrated (performed) my Italian, in order to impress the other kids at school when, every autumn, I would return after spending another long summer in Italy. Convincingly, I rolled my r’s, coloured and conducted the pitch, and softened my double consonants. Perfetto. I wasn’t the least bit conscious about the well-orchestrated performance at that time, but I was absolutely certain about what my ears had heard, and I was the master of imitation. As time went by and I got older, and generally more and more bashful, my “Italian” actually faded. The summers grew longer. I fell silent. And a growing shame about my lost language came to the fore. The fear of making a mistake sat inside me, and I wouldn’t hold a single Italian word in my mouth. My identity came to be embraced by a wordlessness, and things didn’t have any words: no language was connected to them. Instead, they were merely sounds emitted from the mouths of others. I perceived everything in a wordless state of being, in parallel with a language that I couldn’t attain on the same terms as could the rest of my Italian speaking family. Things were sounds, waves, particles. They were nameless, I was wordless. And at the same time, language was as clear as water. I heard right through the words, without getting captured by metaphors and heavy meanings that were closely attached to what was being spoken. Instead, it was pure, sonic aesthetics. Sounds I had been listening to ever since I was a child. Sounds that had forms and colours: temperaments without literal meaning. Systematising the Uncontrolled I have worked out a series of symbols that I call the “paralingual index.” These symbols mark the paralinguistic sounds in our language. The index is an implement that precisely transcribes the sounds that the voice automatically makes—the uncontrolled language for which we have no rules and systems. The symbols are intuitive in their design, and they refer to the sounds’ performative aspect, that is to say, to how the sounds relate to the body. The index depends on sound. It doesn’t need any words, but the voice is essential. A transcription of the sounds thus describes, to a far greater extent, the person who is speaking than it does what is being said. For this reason, the transcription is always going to be personal and closely linked to the speaker, and maybe will also elicit an image of a state of mind, a human being, more than it will convey a message for interpretation. The index is dependent on a conversational situation. It cannot be applied to a monologue or other rehearsed speech, as it touches on a certain kind of spontaneity: a dialogue between a speaker and a listener, by turns, a sender and a receiver: of blood, desires, and longings. And if we allow the sender and the receiver to speak two different languages, without sharing a second or third language, the conversation becomes dependent on everything but words, and the friction between the two languages becomes intensified. It is inside that space that we are inclined to let it lie. Judging the conversation to be dead and the communication to be abortive. However, keeping pace with the disappearance of the words—and as the friction is heightened—something else arises in our attempts to deal with unfamiliar forms of communication. Language makes its way out to the edge of what we know it as but reveals itself in other new ways, compelling us to lead ourselves and the voice into territory that we are not accustomed to. A considerable part of this communication is found in gestures, facial expressions, and other visible, physical movements. The extent to which we use our bodies to communicate, and the ways in which we do this, are culturally determined. The paralinguistic index does not take this into account but deals exclusively with that facet of communication that we use our voices to carry further. When it comes to using the index, the voice and sounds are therefore essential. As we move out into the territory where we no longer rest on our acquired languages and our usual ways of communicating, and instead move out towards what the artist and researcher, Imogen Stidworthy calls rub-up, the voice provides involuntary information.2 According to philosopher, Adriana Cavarero, the voice reveals itself in all its uniqueness, and it is by this means that we show ourselves to one another. The voice becomes an opening to the other, an invocation, and an invitation for you to show yourself to me. The index is also a digitised typography, a font, which can be installed on a computer and used on a keyboard. I developed this font so that I could more easily use the characters in my transcription work but also for the purpose of turning it into a freely available tool for others who might find some meaning in producing a transcription of this communication that otherwise has not been available to them. I believe that the index can be a way of opening up a communication. The font is available to everyone, and it can be accessed and downloaded at the top of this page. Application Methods Through developing this body of work, I have been making use of conversations that I conduct in Danish as well as those in Italian, for which I have had an interpreter (my father) on hand. In their expression and their dynamics, the resulting transcriptions vary widely, and these differences depend wholly on whether I am transcribing the conversation as a text, in its entirety, or “live” as sound. When I transcribe in Italian, I enjoy a certain advantage in the sense that I do not know or understand all the words. That is to say, I am listening automatically for recognisable markers in the communication that I can grab hold of. However, the paralinguistic index also reveals itself to be incomplete; this is something I was actually counting on, inasmuch as I am missing characters—or perhaps it is rather that the characters’ individual categories are too narrow. Italian has a completely different kind of play with vowels and consonants, and especially with the interviewee with whom I have been working. Here, one could use the symbol l from the index, indicating the prolonging of an utterance, or one could create a more generalising kind of symbol to indicate that a certain vowel or consonant is being fiddled with. However, in a purely communicative sense,&nbsp;the vowels and consonants in the Italian language make their appearances in markedly different ways, and an extra rolling r feels incredibly far away from a soft double consonant—also in relation to how they are produced by the body. One can use the index to transcribe and present a recording “live”; this is to be understood in the sense that the transcription is related to the audio file’s timeline. This method is independent of an already existing text or language, and therefore it is also independent of communicating in the same language. The characters are inserted, or they are marked, on the timeline in the moment they occur. One can, in much the same way, carry out the method for the transcription process intuitively and spontaneously by making the requisite markings while simultaneously listening to the recorded sound file. The obvious way to present and to work with this would be in a video-editing program, which visually renders the sound’s oscillations as an aid and which allows symbols to be inserted right into the image. The result is that the characters turn up on the screen at the same time that the paralinguistic language emerges in the sound, simulating subtitles on TV. It’s also possible to use the index with the original transcribed text and its related sound file. Here, the original text is transcribed on top of it at the same time that it’s being listened to. The blank spaces already found in transcription become filled in. Moreover, a number of symbols get added in the form of exhalations and inhalations along with those that lie on top of the existing words. Here, the translation is consequently related to the format that we know and normally relate ourselves to: a reading direction moving from left to right, and from top to bottom—the same time-related issue. The transcriber is then free to retain the original text and allow the symbols to abound on top of the existing text, as an addition or an extension of the already prevailing language. Or the transcriber can dispose of the original text and focus instead on making the new transcription of the paralinguistic language. The result thereby becomes a configuration of the recognisable layout of a page, albeit with unknown symbols that move their way down over the page, in what I experience as a random and free movement. I also read the paralinguistic transcription as a graphic score, as a script that can be interpreted in the same way that the American poet, Susan Howe’s voice, in the most wonderful mode, reads and interprets her own text works. My graphic scores emerge something like this: <img width="1966" height="938" width_o="1966" height_o="938" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c4cae758c62e0ded212cdf9ccf345430bf471dd823e48a51f4daee3c11479d0/1.png" data-mid="214245622" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c4cae758c62e0ded212cdf9ccf345430bf471dd823e48a51f4daee3c11479d0/1.png" /> ︎ <img width="1510" height="690" width_o="1510" height_o="690" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/07dc29b6d9277e077176dbff03781378ae2cc97285371113e108111d7c5fa951/2.png" data-mid="214245623" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/07dc29b6d9277e077176dbff03781378ae2cc97285371113e108111d7c5fa951/2.png" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3 The index is like getting a new tool in your hands. I imagine that, over time, the body will learn to make use of it—both how it should “lie in the hand” and how one can elicit the best possible effect from it. It becomes like an imprint, a sign on the body, when a tool moves its way into one’s repertoire and the subconscious adopts it. In the same way, the font has made a dent in my body—a silent marking out—keeping pace with the fact that I’ve come to know the symbols and have coupled them to the uncontrolled sounds that the voice produces. This is a slow process of getting used to and learning how to make use of the font, and maybe especially because it mimics something that we know. A process that also takes place as time goes by, and a process about which I am curious to feel migrating its way into my body. 1 Mirene Arsanios, Notes on Mother Tongues: Colonialism, Class, and Giving What You Don’t Have (New York: Ugly Duckling Presse, 2020) 2 Imogen Stidworthy, ”Voicing on the Borders of Language” (PhD diss., Lund University, 2020) 3 Example of a transcription of a recorded conversation using the Paralingual Index.
