Earth Mother – Performance for SEAMUS 2020
Program Notes:
Earth Mother is a custom-built electronic instrument based on a female archetype of femininity, vitality, and creation. The Earth Mother produces life from within herself—all things come from her, are nurtured by her, and eventually return to her.
Through physical contact, the performer is incorporated into the Earth Mother’s electrical circuit. Current flows through both bodies, and sound emerges with the forming and reforming of connections.
