Frisson
Performance
Frisson centers the phantom emergence between machine listening and human auditory perception, an ambiguous entanglement belonging to neither, summoned through their intra-active agencies. Through mnemonic perception, auditory hallucination, and algorithmic improvisation, the work cycles through initiation, recognition, reproduction, and stabilization: a continuous arc in which sound and data form feedback loops, each completing the other and generating new cycles of re-emergence. The listener is never passive, their accumulated sonic memory, becomes compositional material that the system reads, responds to, and completes. Frisson is not a mere response to interaction, but the body's anticipation meeting the unexpected, shifting the compositional act from making sound to making the conditions in which sound makes itself.
