Wednesday of sound and body / Trío Truna (TX3)
Dr. Truna (Andrés Blasco Ramos)
The possibility of multiplying myself, or ‘the gift of ubiquity’, has fascinated me since I was a child. The idea of being able to multiply myself in a live performance allows me to merge sound invention as an ‘electronic luthier’ and interaction with images of myself manipulating these new instruments.
This ‘Trio Truna’ allows me to play with the ‘play-pause-stop’ of two DVD players connected to two video projectors and at the same time to play ‘in-situ’ my electronically modified cello, by another invention called ‘Suitcase-Magic’. Giving me new possibilities of interaction, composition and improvisation with recordings of myself manipulating my two invented instruments:
Toro-Cosmic and ‘Lectern of the Future’.
These new instruments have a timbre all their own, they are the result of a long process of recycling materials and experimenting for more than 30 years, in order to find a sound that identifies me. In fact, they are instruments that are still in process and change even today.
