Installation sur le Slinky version pour la Croatie, 2011, interactive sound installation, 30cm x 20cm x 4m
After the first version of the installation, in 2004, a research on the slinky in 2004 and performances of Sans Escalier, piece for slinky solo from 2003 to 2011, an exhibition in London of a new version of the installation last summer the Installation sur le Slinky series continues now here, in Croatia. Please do touch. If you use the handle you can make the slinky dancing and singing. Listen to it, try to get new sounds. Make it move, see its way to dance. Dry little chocks will make the sound I prefer.
Sonia Paço-Rocchia is a young artist who took a degree in Instrumental and Electro-Acoustic Music Composition from the Université de Montréal after a double collegial diploma in natural sciences and music. She studied composition with Michel Tétreault, José Evangelista, Michel Smith, Michel Longtin and Jean Piché. Her work has been presented in Québec, Alberta, England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, France, Serbia and Germany. She enjoys composing for non-conventional instruments (CAM, for seven bus-card players, 2001; Sans escalier, for solo slinky, 2004; Pedalling Under London's Clouds, bicycle solo and projection, 2008), and she readily incorporates improvisation and theatrical action into her pieces (Improvisation sur les cinq sens, for piano, soprano, cello, percussions, tape and real-time processing, highland pipes and toy motor-car, 2004; Eau, for soprano under the shower and processed water, 2005). As she is interested in emerging technologies, she does not hesitate, when artistically necessary, to incorporate live electronics into her works (Soupirs, for clarinet and accompanying electroacoustics, 2005; Il temps-te, variations and improvisations for cornet, trumpet, trumpet piccolo, flugelhorn, sounds which move in space and stage actions, 2006). She has participated in workshops on sensors, Max/MSP and FTM, at iRCAM in Paris, and more recently in an interface workshop by Numediart, in Belgium. She performs/improvises using a myriad of readily available sound-makers, invented instruments, voice and/or bassoon, along with live electronics through gesture-based interfaces which enable her to perform using her body movements freely (Commentary, an half improvised solo performance for bassoon, live electronics and theatrical live art, 2009). She plays solo and in different ensembles, including the London Improvisers Orchestra a large conducted and free improvisation professional ensemble. Sonia Paço-Rocchia is very interested in the sound installation medium (Installation sur le Slinky, up to 40 different instruments made with slinkies, 2004; S'enfeuiller, l'installation, live art, lighting and interaction with the public, 2006). She exhibited her work in Québec, England, Ireland and now, Croatia.
