“…. the production from one sense-impression of one kind of an associated mental image of a sense impression of another kind…”
Sergei Eisenstein on Synesthesia: Thoughts and Experiences
The Piece
A lone audience member lies down on a platform. They close their eyes. Speakers are gently placed at their head and feet. A soundscape, suggesting cinematic narratives begins playing.
As the piece plays, performers move the platform, and the speakers through the space. The audience member is completely passive as they are moved, passing through different ‘sound rooms’, becoming part of the dance that is unfolding.
The movement of the dancers and speakers act as a mode of live sound mixing, physicalising the machinery of special effects. Sound Bed explores in a live performance, a version of the narrative, temporal and spatial leaps available to cinematic editing.
Participating in Sound Bed is a twin experience; the audience observing the piece are guided through a deconstruction of cinematic techniques, while for the audience member at the centre of the installation the visual construct is hidden so that the acoustic presences invite a more emotive,less analytical, response.
(Sound Bed is a work in progress and a side Project of ‘You ‘Aint Heard Nothing Yet’)
Still looking for: Presentation Possibilities & Co-Productions and Commission for a new Editions of Sound Bed.
