Humanoid Sounds

Humanoid Sounds is a sound work in text format and a performance reading. The work consists of the descriptions of sounds as heard by witnesses during encounters with humanoid creatures.

The term "Humanoid" has been used within Ufology and Cryptozoology to describe creatures that are not humans but human-like.
A Humanoid can therefore descibe both what is thought of as extra terrestrial- or dimensional beings and creatures described similar to faeries, bigfoot, trolls, robots and others wholly unique.
The text is based on research of reported observation, mostly published in UFO-magazines. Many observations relate to UFO-sighings, but not all.

The project examines the idea of language and its useage to describe sound and what we cannot fully comprehend or describe.

Below are excerpts of the text.
