RESEARCH PLATFORM FOR EMBODIED SOUND
S.K.A.T.E. / G.L.I.D.E.
An artistic research platform investigating new relationships between bodies on ice, motion-tracking systems, and sound generation. We develop tools, performances, and research that treat figure skating as a compositional interface.
ABOUT
Skating as a system for making music
S.K.A.T.E. / G.L.I.D.E. asks: what happens when a skater’s body becomes the instrument itself? When rotational speed controls vocal stretch, when blade pressure shapes organ registration, when a jump’s arc writes a score?
The project spans live performance, audiovisual composition, game design, and technological research. It operates as an open platform, inviting skaters, technologists, composers, poets, and designers into an ongoing investigation of embodied sound.
METHODOLOGY
How it works
Our pipeline transforms physical gesture into musical parameter, creating a feedback loop between skater and sound.
WORKS
Selected projects
Each work explores a different facet of the skating-sound relationship.
