Skinpaperfragility

Beschreibung
"The idea for this piece came during a hike along Bow River. It had been cold, the water had dried out in smaller streams branching off the main river. Sheets of old ice were scattered in layers. I wanted to use a body of paper as membrane score to produce percussive noises. The score notates a sounding choreography for a percussionist. The video shows old, grey sheets of ice, filmed in a single, long movement like a dance close to the surface. The text writes about a melancholy state of mind and body, about feeling sad, raw and tender, about how my skin feels thin and worn with my heart shining through. The membrane, sheets of ice and my skin all come together in a sonic scenery."
