“Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth and an important structural component of green plants which is, in the industry, used to produce paper. A paper-based product typically contains 90-99% cellulose fibers which are the primary structural element and the most important component influencing end use properties.”

Knocking on Heaven's Bone

Improvised piece exploring my own body as a resonating medium for my voice. Through extended vocal techniques and using gestures to generate voice, I will research and demonstrate the possibilities of expression and emotion my vocal cords can produce and project as an extension of myself. The performance is an open-ended question examining what the self is, what boundaries does a human body have, how far can a human voice travel and whether it remains a part of oneself or starts a life of its own.

Composer/director Amba Klapwijk, philosopher Eli Dorsman, and filmmakers VidAmir explored the different layers and relationships between philosophy, image, and music. In "dat mij ontmoet" / "from the bareness of the face that meets me" sound, faces and sea foam come together in a shared expression of vulnerability, impermanence, and elusiveness to make an appeal to the viewer.

The bare, isolated faces, slowly changing expression, can evoke wonder, engagement, recognition, melancholy, and go in dialogue with the composed music, the makers, and the viewer

Soft Power

pPerformance for 20 sounding ballons suspended in a room, each of them has attached a mini harmonica with the same note tuned subtly differently. The ballons are opened one by one creating a resonant space filled with sound waves and batiments. They are also moved to shift the perspective of the audience's listening, while generating an immersive experience.

Continuum

Immersive movements sync with pulsating beats, merging body and sound into a dynamic groove. As the performance unfolds, a captivating synergy emerges, blurring the line between audience and performers. The energy becomes contagious, inviting everyone to move and groove.

[no] duet

In „[no] duet“, the audio signal of percussion instruments triggers and modifies both image and sound of various film snippets featuring the human body. A duet of sorts. But who’s in control? The percussionist, it may seem; but as the piece progresses, the film begins to dictate the actions of the percussionist.

Sur|Real

Collaborative fusion of music, sound and technology featuring two musicians, 10 Bluetooth speakers and 10 smartphones. This innovative project aims to transport the audience into a surround-sound experience within a space. The setup comprises Bluetooth speakers, each linked to a smartphone, functioning as individual computers connected to a web server for real-time control. This brings an ability to give any sound of the environment to the space and fuse it with the music and performance.

Perpetuom

Technique, speed, precision, efficiency, work. // Sound textures, colors, organisation, movement, flow.

Our impulses give life to mechanical movements in order to create a sound atmosphere, a sounding robot and a living mobile. Starts a relationship between the machine and the musicians.

Swallow! Like, share, click, buzz, pay (it’s free?), relax, open your mouth and swallow!Each movement and facial gesture is tracked, recognized and converted into control signals. Blinking eyes, a moving gaze or a grimace generate music, images and text by Daniel Zea.
