After appearing in venues all over Europe as well as the US and Canada, Bodycoder - Voice is coming to Watermans
Bodycoder - Voice is part of an ongoing experiment in connecting body movements with sound, intertwining the sensual with the sonic. The experiments render the voice multidimensional and examine how the natural movement vocabulary of the body can become an expressive medium and create and manipulate sound.
Liberated from physical and culturally predefined boundaries, the
becomes multidimensional. A ritualistic entoning of the possibilities
of voice; both the real and the mythical, the implicit and the virtual,
both the human and the inhuman... a voice distinctly transgendered
within the interactive medium, an originality that is defined only by
its own transmutations.
How it works
A array of sensors worn on the performer's body translate their movements into data which is sent to a computer. This data is used to process the live voice of the performer.
Everything heard is initiated live and originates from the acoustic voice and the performer's movements so the performer retains complete control over the output. The performer generates, affects and manipulates all aspects of the show.
