Project summary

The focus of this collaborative art project is isolation and mental health in the atomised era of a digital society; how dealing with anxiety and disorders became a common phenomenon as a consequence. To gain awareness of these psychological states, evoking them through movement and visionary soundscapes, is what makes the performance unique.Designing and building a custom-made wireless electronic glove instrument with motion tracking sensors will be the core of the project.The main idea is to connect music with bodily states and movement, to create a space where sound emerges from motion. I try to seek paths of interaction with artists from other disciplines - contemporary dancers and visual artists, who can join in the augmented cross-sensory space of motion and the physicality of sounds

Biography:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WkH0nU-pc6ywPqRHgEcb_5-cD4RaREiQqqlr2nMufRA/edit?usp=sharing I am a composer, performer, interdisciplinary artist fascinated with psychology, vulnerability, art brut, sonic possibilities of surrealism and ephemeral experiences. I embrace improvisation and the power and awareness of present encounters, when performing in company. Collaborative work is a defining experience for me, having connected with a wide variety of artists from other artistic fields. I have created cooperative artworks and performances with poets, dancers visual and sound artists, and written music for intermedia installations, animated and live-action films, contemporary dance pieces. The interdisciplinary approach is also an important aspect of my solo work, for example when I create interactive sound/light installations for movement, but my music is also intrinsically linked to this vision. These compositions are inspired by the tools of non-musical art disciplines too, creating narrative dramaturgy, using gestures and expressionistic visions, that emerge from surreal/subliminal layers of sonic experience.
