Yó (1994) for controller suit and computer.
What if my voice could reside in any part of my body?
What if I could touch my voice by touching my body?
What kinds of song would arise from where?
I made this piece to find out.
... by the way: Yó is Spanish and means I.
The controller suit was developed together with Øyvind Hammer at the Norwegian centre for Technology, Acoustics and Music (NoTAM), and designed by Svein-Ove Kirkhorn.
"Yo" is a cure against the composer's loneliness, a dialogue with an externalized part of myself, as the machine has borrowed both my voice and some of my behaviour (through my programming).
