Idea

Opening the veil of others’ sleep, watching them breathe in a minimalistic setup. When sound entities made of field recordings and synthetic oscillators subordinate to random generation principles. Where 3D soundscape subordinates to sensory data

Long Description

15 virtual sound sources were flying around the audience with filtering parameters controlled separately and randomly by 4 performers in a quadro sound setup. 5 temporal phases meant different stages of sensible sleep, connected to different sets of sound (falling asleep, travelling, escaping from a chase, finding harmony and washing out with rain and sea). Breathing of the performers captured by sensors was their own adventure of finding within the soundscape entities connected to their own scenario and communicate with them.
