Jean Michel Van Schouwburg
Voice, born 1955 Belgium and lives near Brussels. J-M Van Schouwburg has been involved during many years with Brussels based Collectif Inaudible. Having dropped instruments to concentrate on the voice around 1996, he has developped vocal improvisation and singing extended techniques as an autodidact. Has coined the word phonoetry / phonésie to describe the sounds of his solo performance « ORYNX » (Orynx – Phonésie / Inaudible 003 sold out).
Solo concerts solos in London, Lille, Liège, Brussels and Slovakia. Overtones and throat singing from low end to high falsetto (C2# > D4 > B 5). Invented languages, yodels and mouth noises. Voice in the body. The aim of his work is to extend the role and the function of the voice, the mouth and the throat in the process of inventing sounds with the purpose to make their expressive means growing. His solo performances are an attempt to integrate these techniques in one creative momentum while drawing up living links between their aspects. Longstanding collaboration with Guy Strale, Kris Vanderstraeten, Adelheid Sieuw and Jan-Huib Nas.
Current groups are : Sureau with Kris Vanderstraeten percussion and Jean Demey double bass. Duos with Marjolaine Charbin piano and Audrey Lauro, sax alto. Garden Gift with Jean Demey, John Russell, guitar, Adelheid Sieuw, flutes & J-MVS. MouthWind with Lawrence Casserley and players Hubweber, Charbin, Sieuw and Foschia.
