Joaquin Rodrigo

 

The second movement is a masterpiece in the history of mankind...

Rodrigo wrote it while his wife was having an operation at the hospital. It is his prayer to God to save her life.

Dancer creating music than dancing to it

At your risk.


For example expanding the principle of the theremin:




Other example.


Having a very low power FM transmitter in the room and a FM radio. Reception is interupted or modulated by dancer's movement in the room.

Or even just an FM radio barely picking up a radio station. Movement of body in the room would improve or worsen reception according to the position of dancer.


Other example:


Creating a control voltage from a light beam to photocell modulated by dancer's movement. The control voltage is connected to a VCF (voltage control filter) which filters white noise. If it works, dancer's movement should create a sound similar to sea waves braking in the sea shore.
