SoundsTheatre is a laboratory for performance-based research into the relationship between the subject and systems. The subject, whether composer, performer or audience, develops a sensitivity to the systems involved in the creative process. This development is defined and shaped in time and depends on the cognitive and sensory capacities of the subject. On the one hand, the res
earch seeks to trace the origin of the systems back to the mind that perceives them and thus, in a sense, creates or conceptualises their existence through the cognitive tools that one possesses in order to “make sense” of the amount of data that they are able to take in and process in a given period of time. On the other hand, the research seeks to create a dynamic relationship between the systems in play and the systems to be created by the subjects involved in the conception of the artwork. Each instance of SoundsTheatre enriches the researcher’s experience in order to develop a better definition of what such an endeavour in dealing with sounds is.
