The project seeks to explore and potentially dissolve the boundaries between the musical behaviour of animals and humans. Starting from the basic question of how the ritualistic/aesthetic behaviour of certain animal species can be transferred into a musical performance practice, it is Løffler's ambition to open up the notion of what a musical body is and can be.
The main methodologies of the research will be:
- First, to cultivate an imaginative awareness towards non-human bodies and their affinity with the human.
- Second, to explore how the human musical body can extend towards those of other species.
- Third, to establish a composition practice where bodies can collide and interact affectively, akin to music.
The project will result in new works and reflections. The project is documented on Research Catalogue.
