Sketch 2 Proposal

Concept
Through an environment we would have the movement of our legs and feet to be the medium in which different emotional states or experiences can be expressed.  By moving our feet or legs these movements will be translated into sound  as an output. We will focus on at least two emotional states:

High intensity(fast pace movement/dance)
Calm(slow, relaxing movements/dance)

In addition the “environment” will change in accordance with the type of movement through the use of visuals i.e video.

Research
The basic psychic conditions of human beings are bound to specific patterns of movement, that can in turn be translated into sound. These basic experiences can be, at the most general level, universally recognized.

Even when listening to sounds or music, a part of the listening experience is a notion of the body being activated through the sounds. In creating the sound there is a physical effort in producing the sound or music.

The relationship between dancing and music is conditioned by causal relationships between movement and music: when music is kinaesthetically transformed, it becomes dance.
