this improvisatory, multidisciplinary work explores a sonic conceptualization of the search for resonance within our own identities—a kind of close listening to what feel authentic, what seems to be a semblance, what brings pleasure. alexis pauline gumbs and audre lorde both speak to this piecing together of our multiple selves in their work: gumbs imagining a world “after people had cobbled together the bodies of loved ones out of rubble that didn’t segregate or care,” lorde speaking to the power of poetry to transform, offering that, “the farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.” representative of how our bodies, our identities, our communities, our work are a collection of gathered pieces, “we cobble ourselves, u and i” works from a score of collected fragments, objects, and positions to create music which embodies how different parts of us conduct signals of love, home, and light, in the presence of the discongruity and disparity we traverse, and as we migrate from individualism to collective care. what space do you need to reimagine yourself and the structures that you navigate? how can attention, a true deep listening, to the articulation of certain objects and movements and words impact the way that you express? can you adorn yourself in a way that best articulates the truth of your complex multiplicity? what would happen if you listened for the beat of love, the resonance or necessary dampening, in places of your body or the things which you embody in a constant search for new possible modes of expression?
