The Body. Series
of live-electronics
performances based on
pressure-sensors and a
female-body as an
"abstract" musical
instrument. Inspired in
the actual extended
techniques performers
use nowadays (through
which they get unusual
sounds from several
orchestral instruments,
either by expanding the
relationship with the
instrument or
transforming it into an
"object") "the body"
intends to display a
human female body as a
"simple" musical
instrument, using
"extended" techniques.
Yet, the piece triggers
extreme opinions in the
audience: from
radical-feminist
critics, to people who
want the piece to go
further in this game of
power and submission,
hidden but present in
our daily life. The
piece is based on
wireless technology and
sensors. The composer
press the body with the
hands and triggers
sounds through the
sensors. The sounds
reside in a laptop, at
stage.
