I DON’T NEED TO BE FIXED. DON’T TAKE MY STORM AWAY FROM ME.
SILENCE IS THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE. THAT REMINDS ME OF ALL THE LOVE THERE IS, EVEN WHEN I FORGET. *
* based on a quote by Ernest Hemingway
In the world we live in, from an early age we perceive sound as part of our experience, and every place has its own landscape.
We will float in this unfamiliar dimension, listening with our full body when in contact with water. DON’T TAKE MY STORM AWAY FROM ME is a sound performance in a water environment, a journey through different atmospheres using various sound elements, such as text, soundscapes, and live composition. It will be divided in three cycles: Inner Thoughts, Space Shift, Landream.
