鈥楩ios no Fois鈥 is a self-penned Gaelic song written as an exploration of Evie鈥檚 personal experience of sound.

鈥楩ios no Fois鈥 is a self-penned Gaelic song written as an exploration of Evie鈥檚 personal experience of sound. The piece was made as part of a creative exploration of elements such as distortion, the significance of vibration, register and technological engineering of penetrating sounds and instruments.

The song and accompanying choreography and BSL also capture some of the confusions of deaf experience as well as the defiance to express oneself. 鈥楩ios no Fois鈥 does not translate well: 鈥淚nformation or Relaxation鈥, describing the choices a deaf person often has, either straining constantly to hear what is being said, or choosing not to and gaining more relaxation. It is also a call to political action, advocacy and awareness.
