thresholds
A live electronics performance exploring the liminality between analog and digital music technologies, and human-machine interaction
Thresholds is a solo live electronics project built around improvisation and the physical negotiation between human gesture, analog circuitry, and digital systems. Glitches, electric roars and changing textures make up a living flow that guides the audience through sound environments born of real-time decision and emergent behavior. At its core is a Buchla/Eurorack modular setup (the nervous system of the performance) clocking software and sending controls voiced through a Yamaha TX802. Rooted in post-human and post-digital thought, Thresholds treats technology not as a tool subordinate to human will, but as an active interlocutor: a conversation conducted in voltage, physical gesture, and sound that cannot be fully planned, only prepared for.
Premiered on the 22 April at the Bac à Traille | Théâtre de la Renaissance (Oullins, France)
