My generative sound-poetry composition PIENIÄ TOSIASIOITA (2024) will be premiered as a contemporary dance piece at Villa Rana, Jyväskylä, next Friday 20 December, with two 60-minute performances (at 18h and 20h).
This “meditative opera” will be transformed into an embodied experience of movement and play by choreographer and dancer Saga Elgland.
Due to the generative nature of the piece, each performance will be unique, different.
I’m truly excited – and full of gratitude – as I always love working with contemporary dance, yet it happens so rarely! (seeing my friend’s contemporary dance piece in 1998 was the reason I went to study sonic arts in the first place)
More info and tickets below:
Here in Ghent, I’m currently finalising a new, immersive 3D version of the piece for the performance. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the première myself as I’ll have a doctoral seminar here that day, but I hope some of you may get to experience the piece and the wonderful work that Saga and her team has put into it!
