sound bites

"It is the sound of a language I do not know, but understand."
10 second recorders are distributed to continue expanding "To/From Mothering Alphabet".
Each participant is asked to take the recorder with him/her to a safe, comfortable setting.
He or she is asked to record a personal, non-verbal sound. An example is a man's deep, escalating growl while pounding a table. Participant can rerecord until s/he is satisfied.
This project comes from my experience within labor, vocalizing in a language that I had accessed for the first time.
