Inside active Spheres

This performance is about music and the listener. How music directs our mind and how, at a certain point, the listener desires to take control the narrative of the music.
The action we are proposing is a interactive sound performance. Orion and I are using large balls that we bounce on sensors. By bouncing balls on those sensors we are trying to follow the sound provided by the computer. Every time we are late or early, different parameters will change. Mainly tempo, pitch, sound color.
In this Sound Performance Orion and I are experimenting the relation between movement, sound and time. We are also exploring the desire to be spectator and actor, know as “spectactor”.

We would like to leave the installation for the public to try after the performance, perhaps some time could be allowed for this at the end? We will provide all the equipment we need ourselves, so no need to worry about that. Sensors will be placed on the floor, these will need an area of about 5m x 5m.
