Sound Performance: Desperate for (bonds) by Loréleï Nelle

Desperate for (bonds) is an improvisational performance for electroacoustic harp that explores the sonic tensions embedded within human attachment. Strings and woven connections create an architecture of bonds between a body and a harp that are strapped together, inviting the audience into a form of radical listening — if one dares to enter it.
