In “Motus Sonus” Alesya and Max join forces for an interdisciplinary research on the musicality of the movement and physicality of the sound. Alesya Dobysh (Kostroma, 1989) is a dancer and choreographer with a background in House Dance and Max Frimout (Nuenen, 1999) is an electronic music composer with a focus on generative and spatial composition. Based on their own fascination, they are developing a joint practice in which the exchange between dance, music and technology becomes one process. Alesya and Max create a circular dialogue between mover and musician: a sound-generating process is controlled by physical movement and vice versa. Audio vibration produced by the movement becomes not only a result but simultaneously an input for the next movement. This shapes a chain of choices that form an improvised composition, creating an eternal interdependency between musicians, dancers, and the space in which they perform. This interdependency dynamically transforms every single moment.
The project, which began as a research collaboration between two artists, continues to evolve in relation to the performance space and the artists they invite to collaborate with.
