To Fly Out In The Heat Of Day explores sound and movement as ways to use our dreams, stories of ancestors and performative actions as mechanisms to forge ourselves anew.
About
Join Barnell in an immersive sensory universe inhabiting her 'live dream'. A wearable sound-material sculpture made using reusable thermoplastic, and breakthrough electromyography sensors, creates a body-sonic score.As a neurodivergent artist, Barnell's voice is her natural instrument. Lou has created a wearable sound-material sculpture made using reusable thermoplastic, and breakthrough electromyography sensors, to create a body-sonic score. This wearable instrument controls vocal effects with muscle movement. This mitigates Barnell’s challenges with motor skills and draws the audience into her world of ground- breaking music.
To Fly Out In The Heat Of Day is produced in collaboration with artists and researchers Robin Foster and Courtney Reed, and Sculptor Anthony Bennett. Supported by Sound & Music UK's New Voices and Northern Lights.
