Etanan is a collaboration with artist Florence To under the name of CøV

Etanan is a project based on creating an emotional and psychological impact on the audience through space, sound and light.

Primitive methods sit alongside more recent developments in psychoacoustics, but the technology and methodology are of secondary importance to the effect.

Technology has become of more and more central importance in our lives, often to the detriment of deeper psychological needs, and this is also true within art and performance. We are more concerned with the feeling and energy of the space, utilising the intuitive craft of performance, awareness for physical materials and physiological responses associated with sound.

It is about remembering how to listen to our bodies and getting back to a more naive way of listening, devoid of intellectual interference.

“It is a compelling, thoroughly absorbing spectacle that continues to chew at the heart and mind like some shadowed dream from which one awakes breathless and sobbing in the middle of the night.” The Quietus
