🔬 PROTOCOL

Performance Framework

Ecto Musica is a research-based sonic performance structured around a specific experiential protocol.

The protocol defines the perceptual, environmental, and temporal conditions necessary for the emergence of the musical event.

The performance is not based on precomposed musical material.

Music emerges in real time through the interaction between performer, space, and participants.

🎭 PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK

The performance is structured as an experiential and perceptual process rather than as a traditional musical concert.

Participants contribute to the musical experience through attentive presence rather than physical action.

The musical event is generated through shared listening and perceptual coherence within the performance environment.

🌫 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

The performance environment is carefully prepared to support deep listening and perceptual stability.

Recommended conditions include:

• Low light environment
• Minimal external noise
• Comfortable and stable physical position for participants
• Reduction of visual and acoustic distractions

These conditions support the gradual shift of attention from external stimuli toward internal perceptual and sonic experience.

🧘 PREPARATION PHASE

Before the musical performance begins, a short preparation phase is used to establish collective attentional focus.

This phase supports:

• Relaxed bodily awareness
• Sensory receptivity
• Reduced cognitive distraction
• Shared perceptual alignment among participants

🎹 SONIC GENERATION

The musical experience unfolds through real-time piano improvisation.

No musical structure is predetermined.

The sonic form emerges through interaction between:

• performer
• participants
• acoustic space
• perceptual environment

🎼 SONIC RESEARCH

The note C tuned to 128 Hz is used as a perceptual reference frequency.

Sound is used as a research tool to explore attention dynamics, perceptual coherence, and shared sensory experience.

🌌 CLOSING PHASE

At the end of the performance, a period of silence is maintained.

Silence is considered an integral part of the performance.

The closing phase allows perceptual and sensory experiences to gradually integrate before returning to ordinary activity.
