Originally broadcasted on our Facebook channel earlier this month, ‘Hysteria Dichotic‘ is an intimate collaboration between Italian born now LA-based modular synthesist David Castellani and New York-based contemporary dancer AnnMarie Arcuri, resulting in an hour-long film named ‘Hysteria Dichotic‘.
Blending the lines of contemporary dance, modular synthesis and film – ‘Hysteria Dichotic’ is a multi-sensory expression, providing viewers a creative journey through contemporary dance and analog hardware techno.
Filmed in a stark studio, Castellani stands in front of a behemoth of modular synths, whilst Arcuri interweaves her body amidst sonic propulsions, providing a possessed rhythmic expression to the peak-time hardware performance.
“The interaction embodies physics in motion, as she interprets the sound generated by the modular rig and becomes a visual manifestation of the music, speaking to the transfer of electricity into kinetic energy” – David Castellani
