Mouthsounds is an experimental audio performance series that explores repetition, musical timing and the human voice through poetry, audio looping, and alternative narrative. Centred around a narrative of a bat being trapped inside a church, the performance interprets both the human voice and echolocation as a form of spatial or interpersonal enquiry. Through gaps in speech and moments of disfluency, a parallel storytelling emerges. Repetitive action becomes a spatial orientation: thinking, communicating, and perceiving simultaneously.
Mouthsounds has been performed in Unit 44 in Dublin as a response to the exhibition Caesura in December 2022, and in April 2023 at a closing event to the Fly Floor exibition in The Complex Gallery in Dublin.
