“Determinism, the idea that controlled action can lead to accomplishing a predetermined goal, carries with it the idea of exploitation. Determinism is the use of the real for the self-affirmation of the individual. We seek to constitute in music a utopian language through which bodies can express themselves without an external supervision imposing a direction. We aim to create a space for the self-determination of forms, where sounds are articulated in an indeterminate way, more in conjunction that in connection according to predefined logic-semantic schemes. If there is any supervision, it is that of the sound bodies themselves, who continually and collectively question the creative gesture.
We try to place ourselves in that liminal condition between control and abandonment, in which the gesture can become a medium for the manifestation of the indeterminate, the unknown. Musicians as mini sound sculptures, cute little mechanical monsters, engines to which wire is attached, pieces of wood and small rattles, remains of a damaged world, moving along their unpredictable path, twisting and resonating on the supporting surface. We make an attempt to preserve in music the concept of vulnerability, as a condition for resistance to control. The effort not to adhere to a predetermined language, understood as a tool for controlling possibilities.

In the words of Emanuele Braga from Moleculocracy:
“The displacement of the acting subject outside the intentional self […]. Dancing following what the body can do, regardless of what the dancer wants to do, dissolving the intentionality of the subject in the articulation of multiple activation points that belong to the body. A collective body that no longer belongs to itself.
To dance is to be able to move quickly, in a physical score, from one point of activation to another, from what the elbow tells me to the circle the pelvis warns me to make, to the sudden release the knee warns me to have, to the much longer upward movement that point near the back of the head invites me to make in order to slowly get back up. How many hours have we spent trying to figure out how to turn our dancing body into a kind of externally operated puppet!
Riding means being able to stand within a movement that is not entirely dependent on me, that expels me and declares me incompatible if I cannot listen in the right way. But it is only within this listening that I can come to lead at times.”
