Bio Resonances
Four performances that move around interaction, body and sound, creating a meditative framework of auditory experience.
1. Rhoēs (20’)
(Pinelopi Bekiari – cello: Semeli Sofia Kostourou)
Performance for cello, electronics and bio-feedback. It explores the fragile interplay between human physiology and sound, combining acoustic and electronic elements in a dynamic dialogue between the performer and their body.
2. Cyborgutt (20’)
(φø)
Electroacoustic interactive composition for a performer and biosensors. The result of an investigation into the bridging of queer theory, cyborg bodies and the field of music, the work focuses on the gendered boundaries of body, voice and sound. Using an electronic stethoscope, it constructs a soundscape that narrates the fluid identity of the performer.
3. Hypertension (10’)
(George Edmondson)
The performance is divided into five parts that trace anger, exhaustion, anguish, nostalgia, and reverie. The clarinet acts as the main sound source, while bio-music methods transform breathing and resonance into internal soundscapes.
4. Hypno (10’)
(laptop: Orestis Karamanlis – voice: Anna Pangalou)
Exploring the biosensory condition through voice, heartbeat and a laptop.
