Waveform +
. . music for dance
Waverform is part of an ongoing collaboration between choreographer Georg Hobmeier and myself where we try to cross into each others discipline.
In an exploration that covers the prosthetic, the submissive, the humourous and the possesed we present a performance full of artistic statement almost forced upon the audience whose experience must balance appeasement with mutilation.
By using electrodes to contract the muscles of the dancer, the computer can be used to manipulate the performer. This in real-time as the musician/computer performer synchronizes sound events with body movements via the electrode device.
" The dynamo replaces the virgin, electricity replaces the sun, schizophonica replaces schizophrenia and potentially paraniod machines are directed outwards to shock others, the listeners. Telephone, cinema, radio, television: parallel communication and representational systems exist as alternative prosthetic devices, lures and prisons for our fears and passions. "
- Antonin Artaud.
