• "Tutti Arts - Mouth Music - Program"
  Tutti Arts 'Mouth Music' 2006 Program - reads, in part "Jem has recently made a big decision, and Mouth Music is his story. Because Jem is non-verbal, the idea of speaking and not being heard is a major theme. Jem has some important things he wants to say to the world, not least that we must look after the earth and also learn a thing or two about looking after each other. Mouth Music has involved Tutti in the very roots of vocal music-making and has strong emotional resonance for anyone concerned about the voice of the individual and the state of the world. It has been a pleasure to develop this very different new work with Jem and poets.“
