Speech Muse

**Charles Verni** is a London-based musician. Their work uses humour and genre experiments as a means to try and come to terms with popular song, digital audio, and the voice. Their latest album “I’m Crazy” was released by Plot Toy, with other projects including “I Was Today Years Old” and the radio play "Not That Deep.”

**Beatrice Ferreira** is a Canadian American composer and string improvisor based in London. With a style described as ‘atmospheric, surreal... \[and\] occasionally unnerving’ (Spectrum Culture), she draws upon mimetic materials to destabilize perceptions of extramusical sound. With over a decade of experience writing for solo, concert, and theatre settings, she has established herself in the contemporary music scene as a skilled yet playful voice.

**Imani Mason Jordan** (b. 1992, London) is an interdisciplinary writer, artist, editor and curator. Since 2016, they have synthesised a performance practice that centres writing and collaboration, using the speaking voice as an instrument. Imani is Director of PAPERFLESH PUBLISHING. They have curated various exhibitions and public programmes, alongside Rabz Lansiquot, as Languid Hands and SYFU.

**Phil Minton** is from Torquay, UK. For the last 40 years, he has been working as a improvising singer in groups, orchestras and situations, in various locations worldwide. Since the 80s, he has directed the Feral Choir, where he voice-conducts workshops and concerts for anyone who wants to sing.
