Humming As Sonic Art

Humming is a practice adopted by sound artist Kathy Kennedy, who is also a vocalist and teacher of singing. She has hosted a weekly workshop on vocal improvisation for over two years called HMMM. Her work generally involves the voice and issues of interface with technology, often using telephony or radio. She is also involved in community art, and is a founder of the digital media center for women in Canada, Studio XX, as well as the innovative choral group for women, Choeur Maha. HMMM is also a large scale sonic installation/performance for singers and radio, and has been performed internationally.
