Artists from Buenos Aires and New York meet for an afternoon of experimental sound and visual performance, transforming air, light, and magnetic fields into live compositional material.

Program

BREATH – Javier Bustos

BREATH is a performance that uses an experimental Bandoneón built specifically for this work. Breath recovers the performative gesture of the original bandoneon instrument to develop a completely different sound and musical discourse. The bandoneon becomes a midi sampler controller that uses the flow of air to trigger and modify the sound and light of the scene from the movement of the body and the breath.

FLUX – Testu Collective

FLUX explores magnetic fields as both sonic and visual material. Variations in magnetic flux become tones, pulses, and interference, while magnetic powder reveals otherwise invisible forces through shifting ridges and formations. Testu Collective brings these elements into a live audiovisual composition that moves between physical experiment, sculptural image, and electronic sound.

PERFORMERS

Javier Bustos – electronic bandoneon, sound, light
Testu Collective (Serena Stucke and Dan Tesene) – live electronics, ferrous powders, magnets, moving image
