In this unique performance, Somatosonic uses artist-made instruments — a tungkod, sumba, and sound pole. Together, they create a noise-pop piece augmented by generative visuals and electronic beats.

 

Somatosonic is a multidisciplinary art unit composed of Christina Dy, a visual artist and dancer; Tad Ermitaño, a media and sound artist; and Marco Ortiga, a sculptor and specialist in kinetic media.

 

They produce collaborative works that incorporate media and techniques drawn from the members’ various specializations. Alongside their collaborative artworks, Somatosonic also performs with artist-made instruments, augmented by electronic textures and a sonified dance performance.
