PendulA-Anima

« Very suddenly there came back to my soul motion and sound -- the tumultuous motion of the heart, and, in my ears, the sound of its beating. Then a pause in which all is blank. Then again sound, and motion, and touch -- a tingling sensation pervading my frame.  »
« The pit and the pendulum », Edgar Allan Poe.

Pendula-Anima explores the dynamic of pendulum movements. It revisits archetypes linked to time, space and the body, mainly using cello and voice sounds.

Cello creation : Sigrid Vandenbogaerde
