“BeingSonic is my own practice/method for physical creativity of which I impart workshops. It t is the core of my artistic creative process. My inspiration to develop BeingSonic comes from a personal interest in the process of how synthesizers create and transform sounds, electronic music production and audio engineering techniques" (Jesús de Vega)
With the BeingSonic workshops, Jesús aims to instil a playful sense of listening and concentration, to develop intuitive creativity and to provoke reflection in the participants about the possible relationships between the body and sound.
He proposes a body that is both the instrument and the musician.
The workshop places the participants in a “liminal” space, where movement is treated as a sonic entity. Jesús uses the DAW Ableton Live to propose sounds and tracks that will inspire the participants physical responses.
The kinetic outputs will be structured as scores and arranged in the sound design: they can become the melodic lines, beats, sonic textures...depending on their inner qualities and intention.
Some scores will be performed with a Theremini Moog (or other electronic devices that generate sound)
The sonic feedback of the instrument will provoke a creative dialogue with the body, affecting the performer’s score in a creative, intuitive and playful way.
