Music for a collaboration with video and dance. (2017)
Our motto: “Forget the wall, we need a mirror.”
The music for this project was created from multiple audio recordings of glasses being crashed and smashed. There is a live component in the piece which triggers prerecorded tracks of the dancer’s voices via a bracelet that tracks their movements (sponsored by Intel). The collaborative process was a constant dialogue of how to tackle this topic without being too obvious and direct. At the same time, we wanted to invite to a dialogue around what it means to be mirrored, what it means to be on the other side of the glass.
Kudos to my collaborators Francis Rodriguez (choreographer) and Ashton Bennett Murphy (video)!
This project is part “Ears, Eyes, and Feet”, a 15-year long ongoing collaboration between UT Butler School of Music and Department of Theatre and Dance.
