Infinite Greyscale is delighted to present a new long-form composition by Holly Herndon. Body Sound was composed by Herndon, in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Cuauhtemoc Peranda, and performed at Stanford University CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics).
 
Peranda’s body acts like a voice, guiding the listener through this complex yet visceral piece. Herndon restructured the sounds of the dancer’s body to make an arrangement that is simultaneously rhythmic, fragmented, and incredibly physical. In real time, she spatialized the sound-body using ambisonics in a field of 8 speakers, while Peranda performed the original choreography, creating an uncanny duet of physical and virtual bodies. Body Sound is all about the dancer making contact with the ground; a dragged heels squeaks, his rolling torso sends tumbling shockwaves through the speakers, and each stomp of a foot is a blast of sub-bass. Herndon builds on this source material, taking time to bend the sounds into an abstract sculptural form, only to pause again and reveal the dancer’s sonorous breath.
 
A great sense of optimism resonates through Body Sound. This is the sound of a living, breathing body in space, and a powerfully expressive document of experimental sound art.

Holly Herndon – Body Sound IGR04

In my adolescence, and today, I have had, I have the sort of "live, coexist and be surrounded by music" .It is part of me, I feel it, I need it very often .. manufactures the original soundtrack tells my story.
Enormously grateful to those people who close to me, with whom I could enjoy as well as share with artists of all kinds and musical groups of different scenes and very different and varied styles, DJs, producers, videojockkeys, etc ..
The result, "being able to educate and delight my ears" over the years and even to do so within a wide range, not bound by any rules, the bass sound and broken rhythms, different speeds / bpm / each having to Valencia and Europe as main references ,, without ruling, from the streets of Detroit and Chicago, also some other artists of the "Old and New School".
THANKS to all those who have been and are still doing in my life both by queyo me and motivate me why, as with those who help me to make this possible and I continue progressing.
From this and more, comes a friend and lover noise Crazy !!!

Finally, and this is the shit I leave q listening, deep inside me.
