NEW CREATION: STOCOS
Stocos is the third part of a trilogy centered on the analysis and development of the interaction between sonic gesture and dance gesture in a three-dimensional sound space. This series of pieces are developed inside a set of loudspeakers surrounding both the stage and the audience, and within which sound objects move and transform following spatial trajectories associated with the movement of the dancers.
Stocos is a trans-disciplinary project that combines stochastic processes and artificial intelligence based simulations in order to create behavioral dependencies and aesthetic relationships between dancers, simulated entities, music, visuals and light. As a result, the stage becomes a responsive environment whose visual and acoustic properties emerge from the mutual interactions between the dancers, stochastic sound synthesis and swarm simulations.
The piece was performed at Festival Temporada Alta and Mercat de las Flors in October 2011. Creative residences period took place at this venue, Unterwegs Theater (Heidelberg, Germany) and Teatros del Canal (Madrid) between July and October 2011.
