in audible: The Baroque Cello Project, an audio/visual installation with performance. An on-going inter-disciplinary collaboration celebrating the hidden, the underheard, the disregarded, the nevernoticed: the sounds, the silences, the stillnesses, and the subtleties of power always present in any act of thinking and making.
At the centre is the cello itself, surrounded by the sounds of its own making. But equal attention is also given to other aspects - elements usually left out, unconsidered.
Part II focuses on the subtle and complex inter-relationship of sound and movement, including the deep dependence of both on silence and stillness. This new enquiry builds on and expands the first - Leona Jones, Siôn Dafydd Dawson and Laura Moy devised a site-specific, multi-layered, immersive experimental performance, with sound and movement working on an equal level.
Part I highlights the by-products of the making process, those parts classed as waste or totally ignored. Within the sounds of the making process and the ephemeral products of razor-edged blades, lie ignored qualities and uniquenesses. Opportunities for other focuses in listening and seeing invite enhancement and expansion of the function/aesthetic combination that creates this finely crafted musical instrument. Leona Jones, Siôn Dafydd Dawson, Adam Winskill and Jeff Chapman followed the soundshapeshifting of raw wood during the sensual, time-disdainful, intricate and brutal process of emergence of a handcrafted Baroque cello.
The overall goal of the project is to collaboratively develop a multi-layered, full-scale performative installation, flexible enough to fit a wide variety of venues, and with great potential to be presented in both traditional and non-traditional venues, appealing to a wide cross-section of society.
