SYNTHETIC moans
Synthetic Moans is a piercing scream into the void and a soft whisper to a lover, sister, or mother.
Synthetic Moans indexes a process, a practice, and a palimpsest of trans life, and of transfeminine lineages between aesthetics, music, and science.
The process at the heart of Synthetic Moans is a system for identifying and assembling transbiological data (hormone levels, frequency of medical visits, embodied memories of sexed and gendered becoming) and sonifying it into tones, sequences, and scores.
The practice that enables the emergence of Synthetic Moans is a method of memory work and archival research between transfeminine people sharing and recording documents, ephemera, and feelings related to broad and variable interpretations of transition.
The palimpsest generated through the process and the practice of Synthetic Moans both discloses and obfuscates felt dimensions of transfeminine life.
Synthetic Moans a digital archive and an evolving compendium of sounds and resources composed with transfeminine contributors.
