Recording residency with a view to producing an album.

Bodies Can is a sound and digital ecosystem made up of an acoustic cymbal orchestra and a randomly behaving audience.

Five "cymbal-drum" sound modules are set in resonance by motorized bows, themselves driven by a digital interface that analyzes body movements.

Within this acoustic-digital eco-system, all individuals feed off each other, learn to cohabit a space and co-create countless links and interferences.

Bodies Can attempts to observe what might be a just and reasoned presence within a given ecosystem and, by extension, to question the possibility of a balance between humans and their environments.

This meditative journey is also an invitation to reflect on notions of borders, on the planning of spaces as open zones or inaccessible territories, and on the role of new technologies in controlling territories and our lives.
