Choreographer's note:
Sticky Pathways is an unfolding labyrinth of rambling dimensions and slanted reflections where people exist on the cusp of dream and reality.

Music note:
In Lucy's Sticky Pathway the music has been involved in the creative process at all times . From the beginning we did dance and music improvisation where the dance and music influence each other. For this work it was very important to have a strong link between the dance and the music and to integrate completely the music and the musician in the work itself as well as incorporating sounds made by the dancers in the music. To be able to make this mutual influence dynamic we used live music either solo or with live electronics (bassoon, treble recorder solo and voice with live electronics) or accelerometers to follow closely the movements of the dancers. (Accelerometers from Nintendo Wii Remotes that control the sound in an application programmed by Sonia Paço-Rocchia using Max/MSP)

Bacon Street Project
14 Bacon Street (just off Brick Lane by the Bagel Shops, Shoreditch)
London E1 6LF

Using field recordings and sonic material gathered from the local area of Bacon Street and Brick Lane, this event will explore aspects of anthropology, aural architecture, sound manipulation, improvisation and performance.
Occupying the Bacon Street Project space for 2 nights, this collective of sound artists and musicians will explore the theme of ‘transmission’ through its relationship to sound, and the listening processes involved in documenting the local sonic environment. Each night, ‘Sound Through’ will create improvised soundscapes using custom designed software, various sound objects, sound making devices and acoustic instruments. The first in this series of site-specific projects took place at the Shunt Vaults under London Bridge Station in a 4 night residency during the 14th – 17th January 2009.

Featuring: James Alaska, Bruno Humberto, Borja Sagasti Inurrieta, Nahum Mantra, Tom Mudd, Lucy Railton, Sonia Paço-Rocchia, Tristan Shorr, vlk, plus guests
