*Hydra is comprised of 32 loudspeakers placed all around the concert hall, distributed both horizontally and vertically, in order to provide a wide range of sound planes and perspectives. Two control interfaces with 32 faders create the possibility to control in real time the individual loudspeakers, or groups of them, which are especially configured for each work performed. The main goal of this practice is to introduce another element of interpretation into the performance of electroacoustic music, allowing for greater expressive communication with audiences.
