Clara de Asís & Rebecca Lane "Distances Bending", live at Sonic Acts Biennial, Amsterdam 15 Feb. 2024.

As a duo, Clara de Asís and Rebecca Lane gather around the investigation of perceptual space, collaborative processes, and the development of pieces that are, more than settled compositions, elastic systems for ceaseless states of becoming. «Distances Bending» is their long-term project, which takes different forms in specific contexts and configurations in their exploration of harmonic and time proportions. Considering the most elemental aspects underlying the geometry of the harmonic series, one continuously rising sonic object (chord) undergoes a process of transformation and illumination as it travels from low to high, integrating a progressive complexification of frequency relationships.

Clara de Asís: synthesizer
Rebecca Lane: flutes, organ pipes, whistles

Thanks to Marc Hiatt and Michael Winter for the development of the algorithmic electronics.
