The 16-foot high installation space -- intersecting dome segments which feature spherical to ellipitical transformations -- enhances the vocal warmth of the enveloping sonic environment.
As it emphasizes the individuality of each voice, the installation confronts aspects of intimacy and the fragility and strength of human identity.

The voice is an intimate, essential agent of human identity. Every voice is unique. As a medium of identity, vocal characteristics offer vast potential for technical and emotive response.
THIS VOICE ANYWHERE presents a continually changing sonic environment shaped by the unique signature of the human voice. The voice becomes the sole subject matter and material for rendering sonic portraits experienced as walk-through soundfields.
