The University of Murcia opens this Friday, March 1, a visual and sound sample from the so-called ASMR sounds;
that is to say, those whose listening provokes a mental situation of relaxation, which can trigger emotions, and which are used in many occasions to alleviate situations of anxiety or insomnia.
The piece that will be installed in the room The chapel of the convalescent building creates a sound environment that, under the title 'Sounds caress me', envelops the visitor.
On the one hand, this environment is created thanks to a unique choral voice of breaths, sounds of mouths, of caresses, notes of stringed instruments and speeches that become entangled until they get muddy.
A choreography that becomes a roar of minimal sounds.
The sound environment is accompanied by a video piece in which emphasis is placed on sound as a generator of corporality and presence;
generating bodies that surround you and stun you, but that you can not see.
It is as if a loudspeaker were put on all the ASMR videos that are reproduced at the same time during the night of a city, so that in the sky all these echoed.
The installation is the work of Alberto Amat and Pablo López Peláez, and has had the collaboration of the video artist Alejandro Gonzalez.
