Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety
PHONIC BODIES and CHOREOGRAPHED SOUNDS
Performances with electro-acoustic clothes
Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety My decision in the early 1980s to stop working with pigments and canvas came from a desire to interact directly Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety with public spaces. By building loudspeakers into clothes I could intervene in any given environment in a temporary and cost-efficient Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety way: loudspeakers and circuitboards are cheap and can be salvaged from surplus electronics and disguarded toys. My artistic tools are Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety electroacoustic clothes: costumes and suits that are equipped with loudspeakers and amplifying systems that allow the individual wearers to react Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety acoustically to their environment. Basically each person wears one part of a composition: the position of the individual “audio actors” Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety and their movement within a space produces the final composition. The orchestration of the mobile sounds creates the final musical Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety score (see AUDIO CLOTHES 1983-85). Series of different “audio clothes ” are developed in regards to a particular theme or Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety site as “Audio Uniforms” (see AUDIO STEELWORKERS, AUDIO VACUUM CLEANERS, GUITAR MONKEYS, AUDIO CYCLISTS) or in relation to a local Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety culture (see AUDIO GEISHAS/ Japan, AUDIO JEANS/ USA, AUDIO HANBOK/Korea.
Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety In 1989 the AUDIO BALLERINAS started using a variety of electronic instruments in order to personally interact with their environment. Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety Among others, light sensors that enabled them to produce sounds through the interaction of their movements and the surrounding light Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety and movement sensors with which they could individually trigger electronic sounds. These were then collectively choreographed into “audio ballets”. A Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety variety of other electronic instruments (samplers, contact microphones, and radio receivers) allowed them also to work with the sounds, surfaces, Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety topographies and electromagnetic waves of the space around them.
The AUDIO PEACOCKS Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety (since 2003) use plexiglass costumes shaped into a peacock’s fan-like plumage. They are equipped with 16 loudspeakers and 150 watts Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety power. The “audio-plumage” is highly directional and functions like an electroacoustic radar dish. An Audio Peacock can either amplify its Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety own electronic instruments and /or voice using a microphone and sampler, or receive sounds from outside sources via transmitter/receiver and Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety disseminate them in a space by orienting his high-tech “plumage”.
Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety VIDEO PEACOCK is the most recent performance project from Benoit Maubrey. An Audio Peacock costume out of white plexiglass is Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety used as a mobile projection screen. This is an audio-visual performance where the electro-acoustic quality of an Audio Peacock is Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety visually enhanced via a video projector. Video-taped images can be projected simultaneously to the sounds on the costume. In a Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety more spectacular sense the Peacock’s own filmed image can be projected live onto itself in a form of “video-feedback”. The Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety self-produced voice and sounds can also be used to manipulate the images projected onto the costume.

This work, in Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety fact the body of work produced by this artist, is simply fabulous! Squarely hits the mark re: “sound in action” Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety . An amazing combination of theatre, performance art, sound sculpture, fashion runway etc. Bravo!
Interesting Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety stuff. I can’t help but wonder if the work would be stronger if the electronic elements were hidden and the Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety sound-movement correlation became more of a mystery. As-is, it certainly has a sci-fi techno aesthetic and maybe this goes best Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety with the sound. It would be a challenge to change that aesthetic, but might be a rewarding challenge. Keep up Paroxetine Dosage Anxiety the good work!
