Gentle exercises in cooperation: two permanent musical artworks with healing powers are installed at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), integrating collaborative musical creation and soothing collective motions.
Imagined as a collective experience, the 'Musical Swings' invite people of all ages and backgrounds to make music together. It’s an intuitive game, where people enter a highly sensory performance, making music with their entire bodies, while cooperation between them unlocks secret melodies.
The studio’s new sculptural series of interactive, slowly rocking benches, 'Daydreamer,' composes gentle music while stimulating synced up choreographies. When people rock or spin the benches, music and light animations are triggered through motion detection, merging analog and digital movements. Each bench features recordings of human voices, with soprano, alto, and tenor registers. The ensemble weaves an evolutive tapestry of tension, release, motion, and stillness.
