VICENTE-SANDOVAL, Dafne

Dafne explores sound through improvisation, contemporary music performance and sound installations. Her main medium is the bassoon. Her personal approach is centred on the fragility of sound and its emergence within a given space. She considers music more as a punctuation of the preexisting silence, rather than an out of context, autonomous discourse. The deconstructed usage of her instrument is a central aspect of her practice. She amplifies fragments through miniature microphones distributed within the instrument. This exploded version of her sound sometimes meets traditional bassoon playing to generate aural discontinuities between the exterior and the interior, the whole and the parts - a reverse- engineered emergence.
