The music for Energetic Force takes interviews with the dancers, molding, splicing, processing and playing with snippets of the interviews to create the energetic dance track for the work.
The opening unfolds with the dancers voices as they slowly walk onto stage, building into a stochastic texture until finally the momentum can hold off no longer, exploding into an energetic dance track.
“Energetic Force” was originally created for a Sydney Dance Company performance and later released as a standalone work. The piece is built from interviews with dancers and incorporates a sample from the song “Pump Up the Jam“.
