'Sonically speaking, the posthuman era is not one of disembodiment but the exact reverse: it's a hyperembodiment' Kodwo Eshun, More brilliant than the sun, 1998.
I'm your body is closely related to Flesh+Prosthesis #1 (2013) for quartet and soundtrack (written for the Nikel Ensemble, premiered at Wien Modern Festival 2013), which in a similar way is related to the 8-channel electronic composition Hybridae (2012).
In Hybridae I used digital sound-processing techniques (based on feedback-principles) on a series of violin samples to generate a hybrid sonic body that constantly occupies different regions in the spectrum between the physical (clearly recognizable violin samples) and the digital (after heavy digital processing). This composition was then taken as a point of departure for Flesh+Prosthesis #1 in which I envisioned to create a hyper-hybrid body, adding instrumental and electronic layers to an edited, cut up version of Hybridae. For I'm your body this hybridization-procedure is then taken one step further: Flesh+Prosthesis #1 is subjected to similar procedures as Hybridae was previously, adding a second instrumental body, in order to create a multi-dimensional hybrid body, somehow similar to the multi-dimensional meta-bodies that we have become ourselves.
The body and its digital avatars. The flesh and the prosthesis. The mechanics of the flesh. The utterances of the body, the portal to the inexplicable.
