Speculative Voicing
Practice-led research by Amina Abbas-Nazari
Amina is a designer, researcher and vocal performer.
Their work investigates intersectional and more-than-human approaches to technology and design via sonic theory and practice.
















Their
work has been presented internationally including the London Design Festival,
Design Museum, Barbican Centre, V&#38;amp;A, Lisson Gallery London, Milan Furniture
Fair, Venice Architecture Biennial, Critical Media Lab Switzerland, Litost
Gallery Prague, Pedreira Portugal and Harvard University America. She has
performed internationally with choirs and regularly collaborates with artists
as an experimental vocalist.





Amina has researched the voice in conjunction with emerging technology through practice, since 2008, as documented on this website. They completed a PhD in the School of Communication at the Royal College of Art, funded by Techne (NPIF).
Their PhD research investigated the sound and sounding of voices in conversational artificially intelligent (AI) systems, such as human voice interaction with an Amazon Echo device, voiced by Alexa. It explored the social, cultural and ethical implications of AI voice profiling practices in the definition and design of human and synthesised voices, respectively - a mode of working and understanding that further perpetuates harm to already marginalised people. Using a methodology highlighting the sonic materiality of human and synthesised voices she critiqued practices of profiling while demonstrating alternative possibilities. The research was orientated from her position as a practising speculative designer and vocal performer, while tracking the motivations of a lineage of female experimental vocalists. The practice-led research stipulates that the voice taken as a material and sonic phenomenon within conversational AI systems can facilitate new forms of meaning making. By working with the voice as a design material, but treating it as though an experimental singer would, possibilities emerge to experiment with vocal potential, building dynamic relations with other matter and exploring concepts of being and identity from an ecological and social standpoint.

2017
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; A collaboration between myself and Dr Jacob McGuinn. By understanding voice as ‘material’, shaped and sculpted, both by the body and by technology: we are exploring how do we measure a ‘voice’ as a ‘sound’, or the point at which a ‘sound’ is recognisably a ‘voice’? We utilize radio as a medium to tell stories and share ideas sonically, aiming to contend with the ocularcentric forms we primarily use to interpret the world around us.  

This production was created for Co – at Supernormal Festival 2017.
Also broadcast for Radiophrenia, Glasgow, Scotland and Riding the Wave _XX Files Pirate Radio, Nuit blanche, Montréal, Canada.

2014&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Speech helps define the way we experience reality. In this project Amina investigates where speech meets sound and then applies it to a design methodology, using vocal expression and performance as a medium, to explore how culture could diversify.In this scenario the UK has started to use speech analysis as a key assessment for gaining access to the country. In addition, electrical network frequency analysis is used in law, forensics and other aspects of culture to mark or conceptualise time, because of it’s ability to timestamp recordings. People have become hyper-aware of its hum.English is still the fundamental language but people have reacted to this situation by forming their own speech communities, creating sonic borders and allowing them distinct ways of life. Populations have diversified their language not in terms of words but in terms of sound, due to the tone (on and around 50Hz = G Sharp) of the pervasive electrical hum.
&#60;img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7604e8bdd234fa4b71390cf1885bfb52bb50bdc35721f8b4d050b65a927414e6/IMG_2228_o.jpeg" data-mid="141076570" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7604e8bdd234fa4b71390cf1885bfb52bb50bdc35721f8b4d050b65a927414e6/IMG_2228_o.jpeg" /&#62;
Presented as eight audio clips that can be listened to by inputing a headphone jack into a laser cut map, they can be listened to independently but also provide a linear or chronological narrative. Starting at the Dover border, in scene 1 the hum is loudest and most potent, gradually getting quieter through the scenes and having less influence, finally ending in scene 8 where there is no hum.Amina takes on the role of an outlaw speech therapist through her teaching people how to perform their vocal parts, giving them ability to code-switch to move across borders.

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; Science fiction tells stories of future or parallel worlds, often re-defined by new technologies; but what if we use sound as a medium to explore these concepts?Amina is researching emerging speech and sound technologies to understand their future implications on society and ways of life. By understanding the mechanics and components of voice it enables us to both reproduce it synthetically, via digital code, but also comprehend it as a material to be shaped and sculpted to create new expressive possibilities in vocal formation and communication.The stories we tell are limited to the capacity we have to describe them - through the language and linguistics we use. Amina is working to expand the space between speech and sound for the potential to tell new and unversed stories. Through trying to broaden our vocal capabilities and aural perception does it give us an opportunity to disperse metanarratives and give way for more diverse ways of living?Equally, by blurring the space between speech and sound and collapsing existing patterns of speech can we find the essence of voice? - Pure vocal sonic signals awaiting conscious rendering and realisation.This presentation will present past, present and future examples of Sonic Technology, particularly its implications on voice, and give examples of how we might extrapolate their potentials to create Sonic Fictions for creatively and collectively imagining our Sonic Futures.

2015
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; (An inquiry)
Alexa and Siri give voice to tangible objects.
But if an object has a voice what could it sound like?
Who’s voice could it sound?
How should we have to try to have a conversation with it?
Maybe objects have never spoken because no one ever tried to converse with them?
Perhaps humans just don’t have the capacity or language to understand objects?
We use our voices to allow other people to be heard, can we use our voices to allow objects to be heard?
Perhaps all objects in the future will have voices? 
Is it possible for objects to have perspective or even consciousness by having a voice?

As resonant beings can we tune to space, time, scales and matter, vastly different to our own? Phenomena such as climate change is so complex and massively distributed across space and time that perhaps it is beyond the grasp and understanding of the individual. Can we employ performance to collectively meditate on how to interpret these types of events? Musarc and the audience come together to form different constituents of a Whole (much as a choir does), each 










voicing, performing and embodying a different perspective on which to watch and hear the same event. What we will watch and hear is the unfolding interplay and imprinting of cause and effect, where the sum total of all the events inscribing themselves on each other forms a ‘history’.  For this piece Amina took inspiration from Timothy Morton’s theories on ‘Hyperobjects’.This piece was created for and performed by Musarc Choir and the audience at Odrathek. Also performed at Le Marteau Sans Maître Concert, Whitechapel Bell Foundry, and at the Lisson Gallery as part of the exhibition ‘Matter as Actor’, for London Gallery Weekend.Press:The Wire Magazine
