Translucent Surfaces is a dance performance, where the performers try to remember movement patterns and ideas from the rehearsals during production phase. Throughout the production, the performers made little notes as visual or textualized movement scores. Before the performance, the performers are asked to look at one of their notes again and use that as the score for their solo improvisation. This performance is a take on memories and how remembering memories can change their original content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music is inspired by a meeting between the choreographer and the composer early on in the production. The idea of one performer slowly moving and with that, leading the surrounding performers to move in a semi-chaotic swarm movement, led to a thinking process about Brownian movement. The sound for the solo improvisations consists of one wave form created from a spectral decomposition of a one-dimensional Wiener Process, a stochastic process, that leads to a very concrete tone, that can be slowly manipulated in overtone structures and timbre. The music is performed live with the dancers and changes with their movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first choreographed movement sequence, a sound of the projector is used, manipulated and looped in a 5\/4 pattern. The ending of the performance is accompanied with a new sound quality. The music is created from transcoding a picture of the photographer Nathan Ishar into spectral sonic space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
