Reactivated Anatomies (2025)
for 3 voices, automated costume-instruments, and analog synthesizer electronics
30’ WORKSHOP PERFORMANCE VERSION performed at Dartmouth College
Charlotte Mundy, Anaïs Maviel, and Charles Peoples III
Reactivated Anatomies explores themes of ecological collapse, posthumanist-cyborg futures, and atavistic re-imaginings. The piece has already undergone a workshop performance, revealing its core ideas while also highlighting the need for far greater expansion into a fully immersive experience. After years of composing 10-minute commissioned ensemble pieces, Reactivated Anatomies represents an opportunity to compose an evening-length work entirely of my own fruition, refined for years to come. The workshop iteration demonstrated the potential of the vocal and electronic interplay, with the performers’ extended techniques—ranging from chest-voice singing to guttural utterances—merging with synthesized textures to create a visceral soundworld.
