Touches Bloquées (2016) is the first in a trilogy of film portraits. Each filmed performance uses both the notational and indeterminate elements of the score as a vehicle through which to explore aspects of film structure and form.
Silviya Mihaylova performs György Ligeti’s score Touches Bloquées, foregrounding the making of music as a loop between body and score played out through her physical gestures.
