Me Neither is a live performance that brings together movement artist Ashley and sound artist Maria, who employs live vocals, field recordings, and digital synthesis through SuperCollider. Emerging as a collaborative exploration, the work establishes a dialogic relationship where sound and movement co-create a dynamic interplay—neither element leading nor following, but continuously influencing and transforming one another. Maria’s vocal expressions in German, intertwined with drone sounds and field recordings, craft a sonic landscape that Ashley engages with through movement, unveiling, and generating resonances. Together, they investigate how bodies, sound, and rhythm converge to produce patterns and meanings.
Situated within Jai Sallay-Carrington’s installation Reasoning with Demons, the performance constructs an immersive space where the audience, the existing artwork, and the performers engage in a shared dialogue. The setting invites participants to feel rather than merely observe, experiencing sound, movement, and spatiality in coherent synergy with themselves. Movement and sound function as equal agents of transformation, amplifying voices and reshaping space through attentive listening. The work delves into how embodied engagement can reveal new forms of connection, rhythm, and communication, fostering profound encounters that transcend conventional boundaries of sound, silence, and presence.
