Instant Composition for Chengdu’s founded objects (Speaking Object Orchestra, Phase 1). Acoustic performance with prepared objects on a table.
Sounds are always in situ. They always take life in a physical space but they also carry in them the memory of a space. Everyday objects and sounds are part of our memories and they participate in the construction of our identity.
The acoustic performance moves found items into sounds instruments and is created from a minimal instrumentarium made of small things collected by myself in several locations of Chengdu – as Quingcheng mountain, Luxelakes or the Down Town. The gestures sequences build a visual and sound experience dealing with potentials of the place. The surface of my table becomes a miniature territory where the strategies of displacement shape an instant composition that appears and transforms constantly as well as Chengdu’s urban landscape. Based on cyclic gestures in a resonant space, actions accelerates the wear of these objects through frictions, while resounded the space and stretching the time perception. It binds audience, locations and memories together to recreates a new temporal and affectiv narrative.
