Just back from Copenhagen, where we mounted the first mubone project with live projection mapping—brought to life through the brilliant digital wizardry of mubone co-creator Travis West. Mezzo-soprano and organizer Kirsten Voss, along with her production company Tonalteatret, made it all possible, and we were thrilled to present the work in a massive former boiler room in the city’s west end. The space still bore traces of its industrial past, with walls beautifully stained by time, which became part of our “soundpainting” as the projections and gestures played across them.
This project marked our first use of multiple live audio inputs in the mubone system, opening up new possibilities for spatial sound. It was also a joy to collaborate with local percussionist Sara Nigard Rosendal, whose background in movement and theatrical performance added a dynamic physicality to the work. We left feeling inspired and excited for where the mubone will travel next.
