Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg

Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg has developed, as autodidact, vocal improvisation and voice extended techniques, while practically exploring improvised music and focusing on his voice, since 1996.
He coined the word phonoetry (phonésie in French), which describes the poésie sonore (sonic poetry) particularly of his solo voice performance ORYNX, released in the CD Orynx – Phonésie (Inaudible 003).
