Strange Attraction is an interactive music system and performance ecosystem that has been developing through my research at the Institute of Sonology (2023–2025). It is an ongoing process of exploring the dynamic networks of interactions between human, machine, sound, and space. Strange Attraction resembles a self-regulating nonlinear dynamical system whose behaviour is shaped through an evolving constellation of interconnected agents. The sonic traces of the system’s behaviour are disclosed to an audience through a live improvisatory performance.
The system is made of several agents—digital or analogue machines that are not treated as passive conduits of human expression but as servomechanisms with inherent agency. The performer, machine, sound, and space are coupled with one another, each continuously shaping and being shaped by the others, forming a system greater than the sum of its parts. Each performance constitutes a process of exploring the behaviour of this system and its components through observing, listening, and responding rather than controlling.
