The main communicative message:

I want to make people feel music, not judge. (uff!)

The Music world has so many judgments that seem to separate us from feeling

it. Do we have to judge to understand music? In this context, Aren’t we all just listeners? Should we just enjoy and leave machines/ instruments to analyze, program and process themselves?

What do you want your audience to experience?

The musician has to represent a hybrid body: he/she is in a submissive status representing a marionette of its tool but also an spectator. She/he has to show somehow by body language that he/she enjoys to be controlled or supported.
