This thesis is about composing music which originates from the possibilities of the voice. With the different qualities of the voice in focus one can discover how the musical choices you make have a direct impact on the direction and meaning of the music itself. The purpose of this project is to deepen the understanding of the voice as an instrument and further uncover how to use the qualities of the voice as inspiration in composing music and lyrics. By mapping the qualities of the voice I realized how techniques, sounds, expressions and skills are connected and was able to create an artistic framework on which I could base my compositions. I wrote five new compositions, all with different vocal focus points. As a result, I discovered how my extended awereness of my instrument contributed to the energy and direction throughout the concert performance of the compositions.
