DAY 0 - Trans-instrumentalism
Performer, video, motion capture and electronics
Composition: Sachie Kobayashi
Solo performer: Corentin Marillier
“Day 0 – Trans-Instrumentalism” is a multidisciplinary performance and musical research project that explores the hybridization of human bodies and instruments through gesture, sound, and technology. Developed in collaboration with IRCAM, the piece interrogates the boundaries between instrumental play, bodily presence, and digital media.
The work is part of a larger reflection on post-instrumental practices, where physical gestures and musical intentions exceed the conventional limits of acoustic instruments. It proposes a trans-instrumental space—a liminal zone where bodies and tools merge, generating an unstable yet intimate musical expression.
The composition integrates:
Live electronics and gesture-based interaction
Video and visual augmentation
A strong dramaturgical axis around transformation, fragmentation, and hybrid identity
