Thierry De Mey: Light Music

A composition for a "conductor/soloist", for projection equipment and interactive systems, Light Music was first performed in March 2004 at the Musiques en Scène Biennale in Lyon. The piece is an interplay with the poetic duality of movement:  permanence of hands given form by light; remnants of imprints projected on the screen.

The piece was composed in the studios of Grame in Lyon and Gmem in Marseille, during residences by Thierry De Mey. Pushing back the frontier between movements that produce sound and the movements of dance, ’Light Music’ transfigures those of a performer confronting his audience alone. The piece makes play with the poetic duality of movement: permanence of hands given form by light; remanence of imprints – ephemeral, ethereal, sensual, sharp, percussive – projected on the screen. Movement and music correlate, collide, generate and suspend reciprocally, bearing us away towards chaos, and of course towards the silence, that must be.

Andrea Szigetvári: Swinging Door - for a dancer and live electronics
The movements of sounds coming from the throat (talking, breathing), pre-recorded, pre-processed and processed in realtime, and of imaginary swinging door imitations are activated by the hands of a dancer, whose motions are captured by a video camera.
With the participation of: Andrea Ladányi, Zsolt Bánki
