Awkward Moments

This is a series of artistic collaborations with sound as starting point. Initiated by composer and sound artist Mimi Xu, the essence of the work is to use the immediacy, interaction and connectedness of live performances to create an ephemeral “meeting playground” for artists from diverse disciplines. Each episode of the series is framed by six chapters, illustrating one life cycle. The chapters follow a beat per minute loosely based on the human heart rate and defined by a cyclical music key structure.
