‘Questioning the human-animal divide is a reoccuring theme in Suzanne Walsh’practice, which encompasses writing, music and visual art. Her vocal performance BirdBecomeBird, commits to the idea that music trecends species boundraries and reframes the bird song as a form of vocalisation and music making. Starting with a sequence of looping, improvised singing, and with musical phrases, the piece crescendoes to a cacophony of nonhumans voices , eventually filling the space with cries and cackles.’
