Glissando (the sliding sound in music) is a participatory sound performance composed for 25 ice-skating participants. During the performance, participants receive simple instructions through headphones, which they follow as they immerse themselves in the fluid motion of ice-skating, while the choreography almost creates itself. The piece’s music is played through 25 portable speakers worn by each participant, allowing the ice skaters to create a continuously swirling, unique soundscape collectively. The growing sense of community emerging through the skaters’ interconnected movements, in harmony with the multi-speaker music, creates a meditative yet playful shared experience.
