In his improvised performances, grouped under the title Work Files, Etchells creates a dynamic and unstable landscape of spoken language. Half textual collages and half musical compositions, Etchells’ draws on fragments from his notebooks and other sources, creating collisions, loops, and unexpected connections between different spoken materials. Etchells’ solo Work Files performances negotiate context and audience relation as well as presenting language in a hybrid mode, somewhere between its semantics and its ephemeral materiality as sound vibration, texture and rhythm.
