Opera of things de Jasna Veli\u010dkovi\u0107<\/h3>\n
Opera of Things is a composition for solo performer focused on movement, proximity and reanimation. Composer Jasna Velic\u030ckovic\u0301 leads a coil over the magnets, triggering the magnetic fields to produce their \u2018voice\u2019. Velic\u030ckovic\u0301 uses a similar procedure to capture the \u2018voices\u2019 of power adapters or remote controllers.
\nThe title of this work alludes to the concept of the \u2018Internet of Things\u2019, which involves extending internet connectivity beyond standard devices into any range of common objects, such as a lamp or a ventilator.
\nAimed at things that are already there rather than creating new, Opera of Things drugs us into the electromagnetic field where the interference and magnetic field become the foreground sound. Going back to the roots using coils and magnets, all the sounds are produced live without computer. Duration, loudness, speed and colour can be controlled by changing the position of the coils around the magnets\/objects or by changing the speed and intensity of the physical touch while moving the magnets\/objects.
\nIt sounds at the same time familiar and new.<\/p>\n

Jasna Veli\u010dkovi\u0107<\/em><\/strong>
\nBorn in Belgrade, Jasna Velic\u030ckovic\u0301 is composer and performer based in Amsterdam.
\nSince 2008 she became interested in various layers of interference between magnetic field and music. With \u201cShadow Studies\u201d she started playing instruments without touching them. This become her ongoing artistic research whose aim is the creation of tools that facilitate playing on instruments or objects using the transformative acoustic possibilities of electromagnetic field. This gradually lead her to the invention of the new instrument, Velicon a tactile electroacoustic instrument made of magnets and coils.<\/p>\n
