ADOM MODULATIONS
Adom in Hebrew stands for Red, "Dam" means blood, "Adam" is the first man and "Adama" is the earth. All four concepts are an important field of reference. Adom Modulations is a choreographic dense, highly musical duet, the two slender body in a web span from complex patterns of movement. The bodies strive for the upright stumble, stagger, the crash into the abyss before his eyes.

"EL INSTRUMENTO"
Like in music free-improvisation, the performers just stop thinking, they didn’t make discourses, they did not construct. Carlos Sandoval is the "performer" and Trinidad Martinez is "El Instrumento". Carlos Sandoval overlaps Trinidad Martinez with recordings they have made together during two weeks of non-stop rehearsals in Spain. With the sensor-gloves Sandoval never knows which sound will come next after touching Martinez. This randomness will be also a surprise and a challenge for them.
By and with: Trinidad Martinez and Carlos Sandoval

Trinidad Martinez
Born in Cartagena, Spain in 1974. MAGPAI PRODUCTION GROUP was founded by Trinidad Martínez together with the composer, musician and programmer Dayton Allemann in Hamburg 1998. They have performed a variety of pieces, which have been shown internationally. Together they explore new paths for sound and movement to merge and express together. Their work is subtle, avant-garde and not easy to categorize; it stems from and works with improvisation. They produce shows in collaboration with other artists, believing as they do that stage-art develops in a deeper, more complex and multi-dimensional manner that way. Between 2003-07 they were part of La Fragua, an artistic collective in which they shared ideals, art and the sense of community. La Fragua was an ambitious project which served as an inspiration for other artists in Murcia and Spain.
Trinidad Martínez works at the moment for: Pat Graney Company, Degenerate Art Ensemble and Yolanda Gutiérrez & Projects. In 2007 she went to Seattle on a Fulbright Fellowship, in order to expand her knowledge in the field of improvisation.
She is interested in movement exploration and expression. Increasingly, her artistic direction develops interdiciplinarily, mainly working with musicians; interculturally, she is constantly travelling (USA, Germany, Spain and France) and socially, by teaching and producing with people of different ages and social backgrounds.
Trinidad Martínez combines her dance career with and exhaustive study of Contact Improvisation, Aikido, Yoga and Meditation.
Carlos Sandoval
Born in Mexico City, is a freelance composer, musician and sound artist. For about two decades, he has worked in computer-assisted composition and performance. His actual performance-setup is based on sensors and randomized "sound-banks" improvisation. He is now linking social networking logic with music and also developing what he calls “post-music”, video documentations in between the needs of making music and the energies against it. He founded The Tilt Group in 2005, focused on technology, nature and gestures. He founded also the Interaktion Festival in Berlin (2006), now in its second edition.
Dissident at the Mexican National School of Music, later he privately studied composition and theory with J. Estrada (1985-90). He studied also piano-design & tuning at the Bösendorfer House in Vienna (1980-82). He was Conlon Nancarrow’s assistant (1991-94) and is now a SNCA fellow (Mex. 1999-05 and 2008-11). He has never submitted his works to composition contests and has no relationship with academics, yet he has been teaching composition and improvisation as complementary strategies at the UdK in Berlin . He resides in Berlin, Germany.
