Volume is a magazine of contemporary art dedicated to sound. This #2 issue is dedicated to the voice; the voice as an instrument and as a tool, but also and above all, as a presence in space and time. The voice carries speech - or its absence - intelligible or otherwise. In and between cries, songs, poetry and reading, many potentialities exist. In a standardized context, too frequently formatted by the art market, “live” sound and performances continue to define new practices. This issue questions those artists, curators, academicians and historians who speak up for practices that the traditional media too often neglect.
