Research:
– Finding physical relationships between the performers and audience.
– Forming ways for sound and movement to be inextricably linked.
‘Switcher pedals’ at the dancers starting positions move the sound from one speaker to another- affecting the sound in space and disrupting the flow of sound. Most sounds were sine waves which when moved between speakers, brought a physical effect upon the dancers and audience- partly due to ‘beats’, caused by two waves sounding microtonally apart from one another, and the physical effect of pure sounding tones moving between speakers.
