Becoming is the fourth dance piece by Dutch/Spanish choreographer Ivan Perez to feature an original soundtrack by Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). After 'Hide and Seek', 'Attention the doors are closing', and 'Exhausting Space', the duo sharpened their collaboration with a new piece by having the music performed live on stage for the first time. The choreography and music were created simultaneously, rehearsing together, and developing a movement and sound 'vocabulary' for the piece. The end result is structured, but still leaves a lot of room for improvisation in order to keep a natural flow. Each performance is different, with the musician and the dancers (Wei Yun Chen, Majon van der Schot, and Christopher Tandy) having a real-time dialogue.
The Becoming album release presents a version of the score which was edited from material recorded during the last rehearsel period for the piece. As a digital bonus (with the CD as well as the download), it includes a 50-minute live recording made at the premiere at the Operaestate Festival in Bassano, Italy."-Rutger Zuydervelt
