Example of non sense sound in experimental theater: Billie Whitelaw in Samuel Beckett’s short play, “Not I”:
There are gasps, breathlessness, and very fast speaking to reflect the emotion of anxiety yet release. The Mouth character’s stream of consciousness was running a mile a minute in a fast paced exertion of ideas and observations. And I have no clue what this play even means without reading an analyzation of it. But I still felt the anxiety, the burst of life— almost, the ability to speak for the very first time through the actress’s pulsating tongue, occasional screams, and bursts of laughter. It was primal, like a child being born and speaking and articulating so much. Or a person who’s been suppressed of speech forever finally letting out their innermost sensations. The play is visually unique, but sound is essential in this piece.
Here is an example of non-verbal vocalizations by British recording artist, Goldfrapp aptly named, “Voice Thing.” This song, which acts like a vocal agglomeration of copious sounds, is made up of repetitive coos and murmuring throughout.
