Live audiovisual performance born from a shared and collaborative gesture between music, sculpture, and visuals. It stems from a fascination with hidden patterns, non-obvious rhythms, the intersection between the natural and the artificial, and the construction of a sensory experience that invites both reflection and organic immersion.
Three disciplines intertwine and mimic one another through forms, images, sounds, rhythms, and silences—a game woven across time, among bodies resonating within technological mediums. Rocks serve as the main route and map, guiding and shouting their ancestral voices, while also holding ancient, silent sounds that mark rhythms, densities, and breaths.
A cello that surrenders to other voices, interpreting coded scores revealed in the stones. A living sculpture that forms and deforms—a stone being carved in real time, its body uncovered by the sculptor’s hands and sounds, outlining moans and contours.
Although we begin from analog disciplines (cello, visuals, sculpture) and “natural” materials (rock), the project translates the reading of stone textures into musical scores. This results in a nonlinear, fragmented rhythm—shaped by time and the elements.
Granular sounds simulate natural processes such as erosion, where the rock and its textures act as generators of both sound and image, deeply tied to materiality.
Deep time exceeds human understanding—Earth’s memory and its own timeline create and polish rocks. We ask ourselves how, and in what ways, the Earth has shaped these stones, narrating through them a millennia-old sculpture/score.
The hybridization we propose collapses the boundaries between the visual and the sonic, allowing us to explore expanded perceptions of time through algorithmically and semi-automatically generated patterns, where control and chance coexist.
“…All the things a stone holds before it says them.” —Ando Flores
