In residence: andrés navarro garcia : mantra 50hz

There is a concrete mantra that accompanies us day and night, our lives oscillate around it, it is the mantra of electricity waves, a tone of 50Hz. This tone and its multiples are present all the time in our daily lives: in our kitchens and laundries, in the artificial light, in the tram...

Discoveries have shown that anything that vibrates reacts to vibrations, even to most minute vibrations. So, how do we perceive those tones ? Do we have a special bond with them or not ?

mantra 50Hz is a solo by the percussionist Andrés Navarro García in which all the sounds are produced by the use of found electric devices. These are activated on drum and cymbal surfaces that serve as resonance bodies and amplified. This electroacoustic amplification system discovers an ocean of sounds hidden below the daily life surface.
