Manuela Barile is a vocal researcher and an interdisciplinary performer. Her artistic research is based on a project-oriented work that combines vocal sounds with different media (video, photography, installations, performance, concert-performance, drawing, writing).
She explores the voice in all its possible musical and spoken expressions, employing Western and Oriental vocal techniques, as well as those of her invention inspired by the sounds of nature, animals and by “paralanguage”, meaning all the non-verbal vocal expressions that encircle the common verbal language. She doesn’t use any electronic manipulations.
Manuela Barile lives in Lisbon. She is one of the directors of “Binaural”, a Portuguese cultural organization that organizes multidisciplinary artistic events and runs the annual program of “Nogs”, an artistic residency focused on the promotion of Media Arts in a rural context.
