Acoustic / Electric

Yvon Bonenfant

Acoustic/Electric is a piece exploring and comparing acousticity and electronic amplification and sound manipulation through the media of extended voice, electronic manipulation and processing and minimalist physical performance. Composer, deviser and extended vocalist Yvon Bonenfant has combined forces with composer Rees Archibald and designer Ali Maclaurin to create a cross-disciplinary work that draws audience attention to both the subtle and evident forces at work within our own listening minds.

Six Aspects of the Body in Image and Sound

Six Aspects of the Body in Image and Sound is an audio-visual work for instrumental ensemble and video. It was first performed by the Tate Ensemble in the 2004 Bath International Festival of Music. In this screening, the audio is not performed live.

The six sections of this work are each based on a compositional process in which repeating units (audio and visual) are layered over one another. Each looping unit has its own speed and duration, and in combination with each other create an overlapping tapestry.

Each of the six sections takes a specific visual representation of the body as its subject, beginning at the hand and moving inwards to the torso. The continual permutation and repetition of the subject that the compositional process generates allows for the material to be explored, abstracted and re-interpreted. The audio and visual components do not seek material unison or temporal synchronicity. They share structural principles but they move independently as interacting forces.
