Suna No Onna (Interactive multimedia performance)

Adapted from the Japanese novel and film by the same name ('Woman in the Dunes'), this collaboration with Dans Dans Joux involves three dancers wearing sensors interacting with video and animation. The music was developed in close collaboration with the dancers and the rest of the team aiming to connect the physical environment of the story with the psychological drama of the characters. Thus, Suna's sound world incorporates both environmental sounds and musical sections weaving a sonic tapestry that aims to blur these cinematic categories. The audio sources for the score range from recorded sounds - filtered, granulated, modulated – to sounds synthesised using a variety of old as well as new techniques of computer music.
