Noisy Flesh: Maternal Reverb
🧎‍♀️2025

Maternal Reverb is a Noisy Flesh series performance exploring the plasticity and elasticity of the pregnant maternal body through movement-generated sound. Using audification and a custom e-textile PMSon system with embedded knit stretch sensors, every sound emerges directly from the performer’s bodily tensions and gestures.

The work unfolds in two stages: first, the “child” as a living whole inside the womb, connected yet separate from the mother; second, the child attaching itself across the mother’s body, entering a deeper state of symbiosis. Here, the mother’s own movements increasingly shape and influence the child’s presence, a relationship revealed through the evolving textures of sound and the shifting forms and movement of the body on stage.

The garment functions simultaneously as costume and prosthetic instrument—an extension of the performer’s body that not only adorns but also generates and modulates sound, blurring the line between wearable form and sonic organ.

Noisy Flesh is an ongoing project exploring somaesthetics, embodiment, new interface for musical expressions.
