by John Keston Voice Lessons is an electronic, audio device that
interrogates the popular myth that every musical instrument
imitates the human voice. Touching the screen allows the
participant to manipulate the visuals and vocalizations of the
“voice teacher” as he recites vocal warm up exercises. The piece
resides in the space between a musical instrument and voice
lesson. Move the touch point left, right, up, and down to
explore the visual and auditory possibilities. Rapid high
pitched loops occur while touching near the top of the screen
while lower pitched longer loops are heard near the bottom. The
actor, also named John Keston, is the artist's retired father
who became a voice teacher after a long career on stage in
plays, operas, and musicals with the Royal Shakespeare Company
in his native country England and abroad. 32” Interactive Touch
