A
loudspeaker is a microphone in reverse.
While
in the visual arts the material supports themselves have been the object
of creative and formal considerations, this did not occur in the field
of sound. The usual electro-acoustic chain (source-amplifier-loudspeaker)
has the task of transmitting sounds coming from a source but in doing
so it seeds out also its own sound; this, however is unwanted, is noise,
or Larsen effect.
OMEOSTATI is a reflection on the electro acoustic support in which the chain is closed and the role of the two outer elements are interchanged: unwanted sounds become wanted sounds, noise does no longer exist.
Even though it may look like a performance, OMEOSTATI is actually a machine looking for a balance: the movements of the performers do not follow the instructions of a score but each of them attempts to re-estabilish the balance destroyed by the previous movement.
In the second half of the event the audience is invited to explored the machine using them directly.
