“When I am singing, I find my compass in the manifestation around me, what appears within and outside myself. In that moment, I enter an intimate relationship with the 'phenomenality' of the song I am singing. Visible/invisible, depth/surface, internal/external, subjective/objective. Beyond its melody, the song incarnates itself, it takes shape through a movement born and felt simultaneously in the depths of the body and in the world; this energy is equally inside and outside ourselves. The song as entity, in order to be perceived, has to expose itself, it has to emerge. The life of singing, is in its emanative phenomenality. Each song has its own life, its own movement, its own way of manifesting. Hence its phenomenality, its life. The wave of the song is of phenomenal nature. The wave of the song does not depend on any movement that we would do mechanically with our body...”

Unordered thoughts, Maud Robart

PLACES

“There are some natural places, as well as ancient churches, or monasteries, where singing is good, places that are in resonance with my quest, places that truly seem to speak to the most intimate part of ourselves, opening the doors to a different perception; crossroads of the past and the future, of the visible and the invisible, where history meets myth, where the question of Reality imposes itself to body and mind at the same time. These are the places with the power to initiate us to LISTENING.”
