THE SOUND OF A DISTANCED BODY

The Sound of a Distanced Body is a performative composition by Anna Zaradny, based on studio work with Theremini – a monophonic analog synthesizer (a newer version of the Theremin).

The absence of physical contact and the distance from the instrument are the guiding principles through which the artist constructs an electro-organic, visual-sound narrative. Working with extended techniques of sound extraction and the concept of controlled aleatoricism (the introduction of chance into the creative process) becomes a tool for the body, which generates its own magnetic field and enters into interaction with the instrument.

The project is an attempt to process and creatively engage with the experience of solitude, distance, and the impossibility of contact — and at the same time, a reflection on the potential hidden in what appears passive or isolated.
