About
Double-Tranchant @ NAISA is a drop-in 'personalized' performance by Sonia Paço-Rocchia that uses musical saws and other instruments inspired by objects that can cut. The performance is a commentary on the contrast between the brute, the sharp and the flexible, the fascinating. The instruments used in the performance are part of the installation exhibition Lames @ NAISA, also by Sonia Paço-Rocchia, that is open August 8 to September 29, 2019.
Sonia Paço-Rocchia is a composer, sound installation artist, improviser, maker, creative coder, live electronics musician. Her work has been presented all over North America and Europe. Sonia Paço-Rocchia’s research is about sounds, timbres and forms. Talented improviser, she uses a myriad of sound-makers, invented instruments and sound automatons, voice and mostly bassoon, along with live electronics. Working on the form, most of her work have visual elements and are non-linear, choices given to the players, or, for installation work, interactivity shapes the compositions.
