Fauna

Fauna is an evolving live improvisational performance in three movements, built around a set of custom-made instruments and artifacts. Activated through touch and exploration, these objects emerge from Merche Blasco’s embodied compositional practice of engaging with alternative materials. Throughout the performance, she renders audible otherwise imperceptible energetic forces, revealing the electromagnetic and vibrational resonances that interconnect all infrastructures and bodies present in the space.

“Through exploration and touch, Blasco brings a playful, alien excitement to sonic materials which are serious, and deep: from breaming ambience to gloopy wallops of extraterrestrial bass, a vivacious concoction of textures and rhythms bubble up from her cauldron of unpredictable sounds.” – REWIRE festival

Fauna has been presented in ReWire, Ars Electrónica, ZKM, STUK, Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis, CTM Festival, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Santiago de Chile, among others
