<em>Thanks for listening</em> is a live coding process, a system created by a body, cables, a borrowed midi device, a microphone, a sound card, Sonic Pi, speakers, memories, desires, discomforts and vulnerability.

The force driving this research are questions such as: How we embody gender by the ways we use our voices. How a gender binary categorises bodies depending on their vocal frequency behaviour. How sound production and instruments located in cis-hetero spaces can potentially amplify biases. And how they can potentially become a healing extension of someone.

In this perfomance, I position my body as an extension of sound and sound technology. I create voice through my phonatory system, which gets modulated in controllable and uncontrollable ways. A midi controller which receives data from sonic pi is pitching, stretching and looping the voice that is plugged with, through knobs, faders and buttons. A partial narration, a passive whisper or a shout on having an ανώμαλη, anomalous voice is commented in the beginning of the code and vocalised throughout the performance.
