Within the sandstone walls and carved-oak vaulted ceiling of St Paul’s Chapter House, Liquid Architecture presents Carolyn Connors, April Guest and Evelyn Ida Morris in three distinct performances exploring the expanse and possibilities of the human voice in artistic practice.

Carolyn Connors performs “The Faint and Subtle Clapper”, a voice-based performance that includes objects, and sounds from ‘Dispersion’, an unrealised lockdown project with Terry McDermott and the Bells at Birrarung Marr.

Carolyn Connors is a Melbourne-based vocalist, composer, pianist, and accordionist who creates new works in the fields of contemporary music and theatre. Carolyn’s vocal work extends the possibilities of the acoustic voice, expanding its limits (What comes after love, 2015; Sonatas for Voice and Objects, 2010; Mirabilia, 1992;) and her theatre works are designed for listening to: meaning and navigation are embedded in the sound rather than in text or visual cues (Material Mouth, 2007; Nocturne, 2010). Carolyn regularly creates real-time compositions with local and international musicians in improvisation settings.

April Guest is a Naarm based vocalist, beatboxer and composer. Her work focused on pushing the sonic capabilities of the human voice both biologically and technologically, as well as exploring how these two aspects intertwine to create meaning. Her live looping, ambient performances feature extended vocal and beatbox techniques to create deep, expansive drones and intricate percussive layers. She uses her raw voice as a foundation, combining it with technology to further explore our bodies’ timbral possibilities

Evelyn Ida Morris will be performing an improvised exploration of his voice and piano, publicly vocalising for the first time since they started testosterone. Leaning into the new cracks and breaks that have developed in their voice - an intimate showcase of a relationship as it is in the midst of transition. Between the known and the unknown in the voice, alongside the always unknown impulsivity of their established piano improvisation. In the lead up to this show Ev has created documentation of the process in the form of a series of video works called Voice X. Evelyn Ida Morris is a non-binary artist and musician.

Kavil is an artist, DJ and founder of Naarm-based record label Absorb. With an ear for fickle textures and unwonted forms, Kavil compiles moving soundscapes designed to stretch the boundaries of electro-acoustic music.

On the night food will be served by the legendary Matisse (We Eating Good Bitches) and Dora.
