'amusia' live /interactive sound installation by yvat collective and city sonics SIMULTAN Festival 2008 www.simultan.org - Conceptual basis of this installation is found in surrealistic statement that reversal or alteration of common order of things transforms the entire environment and makes us discover new meanings, juxtapositions of senses and ideas. Modern society is constructed in a mechanist manner and thus is highly depending on rigors and shapes of the Newtonian Physics. How would any one react in front of a denial of the low of gravitation itself, as the ruling principle of our world? How people living in a noisy world, full of edges, abrupt shapes and colourful would react in front of the stillness? This installation intends to intrigue its audience. Viewers will be put in front of an evident altered visual impression on the environment and, in the same time, they will be challenged to choose how the atmosphere around them will develop, by making them interact directly with the installation and by provoking them to generate their own audible environment. - Credit: Co-Production : yvat collective/City Sonics Project co-coordinator/concept&design: Iulia Popa Music and sound system: yvat IT support: Adrian Tabacaru
