Sticky Pathways

premiered 20th March 2009, 35 minutes

Choreographer’s note:
Sticky Pathways is an unfolding labyrinth of rambling dimensions and slanted reflections where people exist on the cusp of dream and reality.

Music note:
In Lucy’s Sticky Pathway the music has been involved in the creative process at all times . From the beginning we did dance and music improvisation where the dance and music influence each other. For this work it was very important to have a strong link between the dance and the music and to integrate completely the music and the musician in the work itself as well as incorporating sounds made by the dancers in the music. To be able to make this mutual influence dynamic we used live music either solo or with live electronics (bassoon, treble recorder solo and voice with live electronics) or accelerometers to follow closely the movements of the dancers. (Accelerometers from Nintendo Wii Remotes that control the sound in an application programmed by Sonia Paço-Rocchia using Max/MSP)

Invisible Ink

A little sound installation. A book where you can write your secret, your best quote, it is invisible ink, but your secret will produce sounds.

Build Your Harmony

09/06/2008





A blue cylinder. Touch it, it will sing. Move it, it will sing another note. Put the orange rectangular prism on it. This way, the note it sings is consonant with the note of the cylinder. Take the red triangular prism. Put it sideways. You have now a dissonant chord. And now, the green pyramid, and the purple cone. Build yourself a still life of geometric shapes, build your harmony.

Build your harmony is a interactive sound installation for all ages. Youngers will enjoy playing with big blocks making sounds, and and olders will appreciate the infinite different harmonies they can create by interacting with the shapes, at the same time affecting the rhythm. When nobody will interact with the installation, the last harmony will become soft and will develop rhythmically on its own, and will develope its own un-phase rythm. If the shape is not moving its sound will fade out slowly to a very low volume. When somebody moves it the volume will quickly fade in. If this person moves the shape more vigorously the volume will increase, and when this person leaves the shape stationary the sound will fade out slowly.
