The piece is a study on the compression and extension of Time, based from samples of sound, as an exploration of the regressive spiral of Historical Time. How can an ancestral chant or the buzz from a machine be compressed into a pulsation? What is the quality of space between two pulsations that compose a beat or a folkloric rhythm? How can the extension of the timbre of a pulsation create the space of a techno temple? \n\nMy practice seeks to visualize sound via movement and vice versa. The sound flickers between sonic masses and rhythms, which raises new tensions:  between ancestral and folkloric music whose textures and rhythms spring from the axis-mundi (sky-earth axis), and electronic music from techno temples which are attempts to reproduce the former artificially. The piece explores mathematical and poetic relations between sample rates, inter-parameter functions and transcendence. \n\nThe dance is in transmutation. The body responds to the sonic masses and its progressive degradation into various rhythms and textures, the movement fragmenting itself to match the value of electronic sampling rate. To this rave dance, a metaphysical quest under amphetamines, belongs movements that respond to a nervous system under particular circumstances. What are the sonic qualities of the emancipatory gesture?\n\nThe piece will be a 30-35 minute performance with a sample sequencer, and would be premiering.","space":"This piece can be performed in a variety of indoor spaces, ranging from black box theatre, warehouses, etc. but ideally a gallery space. The lighting plan will be minimal and make use of the existing lights offered by the space, and if insufficient, simple LED spotlights. The public can be in a half to 3\/4 circle around performance. The performance area should be at the very least 5x5 meters. Speakers and a sound board are also required.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4KsRoBWSTSs","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/restlessstems\/materia-prima-extract\/s-GUsLHj2IKMl","images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Alejandro","surname":"Sajgalik","email":"a.sajgalik@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"19FC97217","address":"Calle Ruben Vela, 6 Puerta 9","city":"Valencia","nacionality":"France","country_id":"71","birthdate":"1990-04-04T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-04-04T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"623338503","web":"https:\/\/alejandrosajgalik.com","fileCount":7}
