ResearchWorks: Kuba Krzewiński - The Touch of Sound and The Sound of Touch

In his works, Krzewiński focuses on the sense of touch as the origin of sound, as the axis of the performer-instrument relationship and as a medium of social communication. Through the use of performative means, multimedia and tactile references, Krzewinski offers the audience new ways of approaching music and the body. The talk will focus on a typology of different corporealities used in his works, as well as examples of pieces representing them.
