Rooted in instinctive, introverted vocal actions, Phonal explores the primal drive to sound—an urge emerging before language, before culture. The piece investigates this phonal state through close collaboration with the performers, focusing on physical action as a generative force for sound. Rather than prescribing sonic outcomes, the score acts as a provocation for embodied expression—gestures that hover at the threshold of sound and movement. In Phonal, sound is not merely communicative, but existential: a resonance of being itself.
