Rhythmic Study from TERRA. A rhythmic study composed during the creation of the sound score for TERRA: Bodies and Territories, an upcoming site-specific dance piece choreographed by Silvana Cardell at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education.

This etude is built entirely from field recordings captured on-site at the Schuylkill Center in Philadelphia—sticks, branches, leaves, rocks, and weathered iron transmission lines transformed into percussive elements. The organic textures of the forest become the foundation for rhythm and timbral evolution. 

Composed using Ableton Live and Max for Live. Microphones include the Zoom H3-VR and Metal Marshmallow Contact Mic. 

TERRA premieres June 13-15 & 20-22, 2024.

About 'Civilians'.
AnNua and Associates are creating Civilians’ as a stream of consciousness with scripted scenes moving between war, shopping, torture, displacement, lifestyle, surveillance and escapism. The work will have a dream like quality, at times verging on nightmare. In a sense, it is a requiem. To assist in creating this ‘dream’ we may use image, shadow and composition along with audio design and acted scenes. We are seeking to understand and to depict the changing nature of conflict over time and into the present during which the line between combatants and civilians has become increasingly blurred.
