The Soma Songs project brings together a group of acclaimed artists and designers from performance, visual, sound, textile and film genres. Fusing digital dance, choreographic screen processes with architectural cinema and sound, the project develops an electro-shamanic ethos. We trace our stories of architecture from the first attempts to capture and hold space with stone. The skeletons of stone structures have sat with us for millennia. Light is both wave and particle. Light has consciousness. In Soma Songs we conduct this energy and its resulting memory. This developing AV live set (presented last year at PQ11), will be performed by Artistic Director, Daniel Belton. Live video layering and scrolling from Final Cut Pro working a custom system, with sound layering through Ableton incorporating live instrumentation from the Tuning Forks Eight Octave.
