Pshal P’shaw investigates the sonic instability of speech—where phonetic dissonance, vocal fragmentation, and gestural sound challenge structured linguistic norms. Developed during​ Keddie's residency at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, this work explores how speech patterns morph in response to unfamiliar dialects, sonic environments, and computational intervention. By positioning phonetic instability as an expressive and cognitive site, this work aligns with​ Keddie's broader research on interstitial sonic spaces—the liminal areas between signal and noise, order and disruption, articulation and abstraction.
