“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...”
