My name is Colin Self and I’m an artist and composer who makes puppets, performances, and music. I’ve also been running a group singing project since 2013 called XOIR.
On this website, you can find information about past works and texts that explain projects in detail beyond the limits of monolithic instagram or twitter. I am perpetually digging through archives and backlogs to upload works, past collaborations, ephemera, etc.
I make fairly regular studio updates on my substack, where you can become a paid subscriber and support/follow my work.

AN INTRODUCTION TO XOIR
XOIR is a methodology of group-singing that began in 2013, rooted in experimentation and exploration, focusing on collective organizing and somatic awareness over the priority of memorizing and reciting music in the binaries of western music. XOIR is not about professionalism or assimilation, and encourages amateurism as a precedent.
