This project aims at developing and investigating a live-electronic performance with voice and technology as central elements, combining artistic and experiential research perspectives. The project started out from the performance Eugenie , which was developed around Åse's personal childhood memories, and explored the territories between straightforward narration, singing and experimental soundmaking, all dressed in multilayered sonic textures derived from sampled vocal material. By presenting the live performance for several audience groups, and collecting their responses through multiple methods, the project have attempted at gaining an increased understanding of the experiential processes of different audiences, thereby giving Åse guidelines in the artistic process usually not attainable for performing artists.
