THE SENSORY SCORE (2015)
Commission to write a four-movement piece for string trio and electronics for a live sensory concert, created in collaboration with BitterSuite.
Taking inspiration from the string trio as an ensemble and elements of the natural world, a kaleidoscopic and textured score brings electronic instruments together with string ensemble The Phaedra Ensemble. Mixing pre-recorded parts with live and conducted improvisation. Blindfolded participants are treated to a one-to-one tactile experience choreographed by BitterSuite, including bespoke tastes by gourmet chef Adam Thomason and original perfumes by Sarah McCartney. All the senses working in unity to deepen the experience of each moment of Auclair’s music. This is whole body listening.
