SignofSound is a multidisciplinary project involving music, painting,
video, and dance. The entire performance is based on improvisation.
During the show the performer is accompanied by live jazz or electronic
music. The artist interpret the music with her body that interact
with wall size backlit canvases where layers of painting have been
applied. Each movement of the artist leaves a sign on the canvas,
and soon transform it into a painting. A real dialogue between the
painter and the musicians takes place on stage, each inspiring the
work of the other, and allowing an immediate translation of the Signs
into Sound and vice versa. This intense and stimulating environment
is completed by the contribute of dancers who interpret the surrounding
visual and audio stimulations with the movement of their bodies. The
work of the painter and the dancers comes together while a video is
projected in the background. The video consists of sculptural forms
generated by contact mics on the canvasses and electronic sound graphed
onto an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope is traditionally used to calibrate
electronic instruments via audio. However, the internal timer of the
scope can be replaced with another sound source on the x-axis. When
two Channels hitting the scope are in specific harmonic and phase
ratios, the scope’s electron gun will graph an image giving the illusion
of a moving 3 dimensional shape.These are called Lissajous patterns.
