je mets mon scaphandre

(2025)

work for bassoon, multichannel electronics and sound-reactive light design

collaborative creation by Olivia Palmer-Baker, John Aulich and José del Avellanal

Program notes

je mets mon scaphandre explores an indirect example of the ‘leaky body’ in the form of a concert-length work for bassoon, live electronics, and sound-reactive lighting. The built-in spatialisation and ‘leaky’, unstable nature of the bassoon is brought into dialogue with this theory, amplified and translated with live electronics, and represented visually by a dynamic, live lighting system, which directly responds to the musical material.
