Further initial experiments using the idea of the tentacle to showcase the intensity of the voice and the process of communication exploring outwards for a sensory input. These evoke the horrific and horror imagery that give an interesting connection to the violence of sound on the body as described by Alan Montrose in his Human chapter from Inhuman Nature (2014), whilst also taking inspiration from how cephalopod’s explore their environment. The connection to the wet, fleshy and viscous descriptions of the mouth from LaBelle’s Lexicon of the Mouth works well and brings to the forefront an encounter with the voice as a substance, as a life form, as a living organism.
