Caixa de batida: construindo objetos sonoros para ação

Abstract

The work explores the creative process undertaken by the artist/author, grounded in the concept of "operativity" by João (Chico) Carlos Machado, through personal accounts. The narrator reflects on his artistic journey, beginning with street art and rap, then moving through theater and performance. The narrative also discusses the impact of improvisation in music and art, emphasizing the importance of risk, error, and creative fluidity. He shares his experience in creating a sound object titled Caixa de Batida, with which he produces ephemeral works that integrate sound, light, and scenography, prompting reflections on the use of rap tools such as beatboxing, looping, sampling, and freestyling. The final work is presented as a space of constant transformation, where improvisation becomes the central discourse of the creative process.
