Peter Kutin & Patrik Lechner:
ROTOЯ – Sonic Body


With ROTOЯ, Peter Kutin (concept, composition, live electronics) collaborates with Patrik Lechner (live-video-projections) and Mathias Lenz (mechatronics) for this furious und hypnotising live-performance.

Following the basic parameters of Kutin’s kinetic object TORSO#1 from 2018, ROTOЯ applies an even more intense acceleration onto these media-branches sound, image, light and object. It reaches stages where the rotating sound-sculpture transcendes into a hologram alike sonic-body, a kinetic-performer that is passing and morphing through unpredictable heterochronic states by establishing a beguiling complex multimedial polyrhythm.

… the sculpture fans out into geometric forms, bunches into images of a diffused reality. Due to the constant acceleration, it’s no longer possible to perceive the movement in detail, but instead, lines, colors, surfaces, and sounds rush past us.

… In the cyclical movement, image and sound conspire and work towards a dizzying and unreal threedimensionality, a play of visibility and invisibility, actuality and virtuality, visual abstraction and acoustic affect.
