How is voice used in devising practices? What is the interplay between structure, freedom
and improvisation in such compositional practices? In what ways is voice conceived and
practised as material? In providing answers to such questions, this multi-vocal
interview/roundtable transcript is composed around the responses of three contemporary
vocal artists based in the United Kingdom, Mikhail Karikis, Elaine Mitchener and Jessica
Walker. Their work ranges from audio-visual installations and solo shows to immersive
performance and site-responsive work, and their deployment of vocality ranges from jazz and
Victorian music hall repertoires to extended vocal techniques and experimentations across
the speech–song continuum. In conversation with practitioner-scholar Konstantinos
Thomaidis, their responses offer valuable insights into current vocal experimentation but are
also an invitation to expand discussions around devising in the field of interdisciplinary voice
studies.
