sUn [2014]








sUn, a poetic approach towards sound and movement. The physicality of sound is approached through magnetic fields' interaction that is sonically accessible to the viewer through vivid sounds, some times extremely low, some times felt more than heard.

sUn drags us into the magnetic field-scape, using handheld inductors to bring this silent phenomenon into the audible spectrum.

Composition sUn is the first written work created for velicon.

sUn was written in collaboration with Mexican percussionist Diego Espinosa. In the last two years Espinosa developed collaborations with composers living in Amsterdam, Berlin, Montreal, New York, Mexico. These collaborations exemplify how the boundaries of multi percussion performance practice have evolved in unconventional ways, making its inherent visual aspect essential to understand it.
