Between free jazz, live coding and live cinema, Natt Stråkar Punkter unfolds as an audiovisual piece built live and reshaped with every performance. Drawing on the visual universe of Klas Ernflo, the project brings together the music of Juan Pablo Balcázar and Oriol Roca with the code and live-generated images of Roger Pibernat, allowing sound and visuals to improvise together within the same stage tension. Developed during a residency at Les antípodes, the piece emerges from a newly created device and moves between the organic and the synthetic, between sonic matter and constantly shifting imagery.
