Jason Singh, bird-boxer
Jason Singh’s creations constantly find their way moving through music, live performance, sound art, dance, poetry, film, theatre, science, textiles, education and research. It is as a beat-boxer and vocal sculptor that he is best known, and in 2012 Jason was the first resident sound artist at the V&A Museum in London. He is also an associate lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University.
His relentless pushing of boundaries has seen him collaborate, record and perform with artists as varied as Rokia Traorè, Nitin Sawhney, Leafcutter John, and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Singh has been commissioned by the National Trust to vocally recreate the nation’s best-known songbirds to celebrate the sounds of spring and encourage the nation to get outdoors and experience nature first hand.
Singh explained, “I love the magic of spring. When the silence of winter comes to an end, you can feel a real sense of change as the parkland erupts with noise, bursts of colour and new life. This is what makes spring so special for me and it’s this that I really wanted to capture in this project.
