about

Have you ever wondered what might happen if the delicate connection between your brain and body broke? If you told your hand to move, and instead it jumped? If you told your feet to walk, and instead they danced?

INNERVATE aims to answer all of these questions and more. An immersive audiovisual experience with accompanying short story, it is based on Liza’s own experience of living with and overcoming music triggered reflex epilepsy.

The creation of INNERVATE was funded by Help Musicians UK Fusion Fund. It features visuals from Dan Tombs (Jon Hopkins/Gold Panda) and graphic design from Catalina Velasquez-Gonzalez.

Liza created their own custom instrument to realise this project, the robo-recorder. Part computer, part tenor recorder, this beast melds with Liza’s ethereal vocals to create live melodic soundscapes evoking the spirit of the story. Using custom patches in Max for Live triggered by sound, all of the music was improvised live in one take without using pre-recorded samples or sequencers.

The Bandcamp package includes a copy of the short story for you to read while you listen.
