DANXYmusic - interactive dance solo from Ariella Vidach on Vimeo.

DANXYmusic is a choreographic project focused on the possible relationship between the dancer and the interactive system INCROM-AUXY. This device, created specifically for the company, allows live mixing of sounds and music samples by detecting dancer’s movements and 6 colours of her clothes. The system establishes, besides the quality of the sounds, the duration and the complexity of composition. The dancer becomes “compose” in real time sound fragments that are assembled and processed by movement and choreography.

Ariella Vidach declares: “In this production I have undertaken to exclusively create the frame. The content of the picture is composed in real time. Nor the images or sounds follow an established run, they are contrarily in constant evolution to build a real living system.”
