BODY SONGS DEBUT
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
I could not be more excited about moving forward with the fascinating and absolutely challenging realm of Solo Performance by introducing my new show: BODY SONGS!
This body-rhythm-only highly interactive concept, now joins 'ONE' which, as much as it has already opened an incredible door in my career as a percussionist, is still in an early phase of development, that I look very much forward to continue bringing to new stages.
BODY SONGS, on the other hand, is the result of more than 10 years of research and development of my work with the body as a percussion instrument, and besides allowing me to have a live-performance context for systems like the Circulines, it will mainly bring me closer to an audience with which I cannot wait to make music with.
Time to get ready together for BODY SONGS!
​
One of the main ideas behind the concept of BODY SONGS is to develop the show along with the audience. And since I personally believe we are all one single vibrating rhythm, what a great opportunity it is to have a space where our collective sound can gather and transcend as well.
That said, here it's two Body Percussion Challenges for you to prepare. Have fun with it! And see you at the show! ;)
