The idea of this joint project was to stage not a performance but a visualisation of the Suites for violoncello solo by J.S.Bach.

Making use of computer graphics and live electronics, elements of the musical notation are isolated and offered to the listener/spectator.

At the same time, excerpts from the Suites are played back "in slow motion" as if to scrutinise Bach's universe under a microscope.

Note by note.

The sort of 'mus’cal physiology' which we hope to achieve finds a natural correspondence in RenŽ Descartes's "Les passions de l'âme".

Through the readings from this work we are staging an experiment which seeks to establish the boundary between the body and the soul which dwells in it, between the gesture and the passion which generated it, between the sound and the symbol that notated it.Dust like light.

René Descartes, Seigneur du Perron, was partial to an omelette made with eggs that had lain under the hen for eight to ten days; eggs removed too soon or subsequently, he noted, made a revolting omelette. (Note in the margin to Samuel Becketts poem Whoroscope).
