The Ghoul emerged in the workshop, in the midst of an experiment. Not a shape, but an apparition, a pure vibration, a simple and striking physical phenomenon that disrupted our exploration of sound and movement. A resonance.
The resonance of a shifting structure, amplified by sonic pulses.
Suspended by elastic bands, a rubber hose responds to hydraulic impulses. As their frequency begins to resonate with that of the elastics, the movement grows exponentially and spectacularly. This phenomenon quickly transforms into an increasingly broad, organic, and lifelike dance. A simple hose, initially inert and utilitarian, appears to come alive.
Music is not merely a reflection of the movement. It is its origin, generating the hydraulic pulses whose frequency variations shape the choreography. Through its sonic textures evoking matter in constant transformation, it lends depth, a body, to the purity of the phenomenon.
Sound and movement feed off one another, giving rise to a form that escapes any mechanical logic. What first seemed to be a mere oscillation becomes a strange, spectral creature, a sensory experience that is both unsettling and otherworldly.
