Invisible body (RAW NOISE)

 

INVISIBLE BODY (RAW NOISE) is a bodily and sonic experience about parenthood.

The piece was recorded at LEIMAY CAVE as part of the Incubator artist cohort, a few days after the birth of my daughter. Between an unknown euphoria and sleep deprivation, my body and my senses were in a shamble. I was not myself anymore, but not yet someone new. The fatigue existed everywhere except in the studio, where I found an untapped energy and a balance into chaos.

During those days of experimentation, I wanted to rediscover my relationship with touch. I blindfolded myself every time I entered the studio. I had to forget myself, my vision of things and my definition of my body in a space. I had to become invisible to myself to explore and attempt to reach this other me with a newborn waiting on the other side of the studio.

While moving and trying to make sense of what it means to be again, I felt, hurt myself, and finally found ground. It was an out-of-body experience ; I became invisible and reached immaterial spaces.

I was learning to walk again, step by step, stomping my way to feel the joy and the pains to feel alive.

INVISIBLE BODY (RAW NOISE) is a bodily and sonic lover letter to my bones, muscles, and skin. More importantly, through this piece, I question what will be their purpose outside, in the real world.

PS: I’d like to thank Ximena Garnica, Shine Moriya, Krystel Copper and Brandon Perdomo from LEIMAY CAVE for their support during this crucial moment of my life.
PS2: Please use your headphones to experiment the raw granularity of the experience.
