Louisa Palmi is a composer, musician and sound artist. In her work she combines electronics, electroacoustics and 3D sound technology with dance and live performance. Her music can be described as evocative and contrasting soundscapes based on textures and movement. She is interested in how the feeling of space can be transformed by manipulating and spatializing sound. In her work with Toby Kassell she explores how to create music from the sound of the movement. Combining this with live sound manipulation and spatialization, together they investigate how the hierarchy between music and dance can be used as an artistic tool.

Sonic Bodies is an exploration of sound and physical bodies and how they are composed equally from different perspectives and discourses. Through a pragmatic approach to the material an associative poetry is revealed through layers that are fragmented and rebuilt over and over again only to reach a point of destruction. The work arises from nothing and leaves nothing behind except memory and new physical state. The dancers become musical material that interprets itself and the music a physical entity. A timeless union that suggests a new interpretation and identity.
