OURO
BOROS
OuroBoros is in pre-production and is slated for Fall 2010.
Warning: OuroBoros uses sensorially overwhelming light and video techniques that may trigger seizures in audience members suffering from epilepsy or equivalant disorders. If you are sensitive to loud sounds, claustrophobic sensations, or artificial fog effects, you should reconsider attenting OuroBoros.
More Information on OuroBoros available soon
Aytia Matia I: Sleep Cycles
This was Aytia|Matia's first installation and performance in 2009. The purpose of the event was to move the audience through the 5 stages of the human sleep cycle with delicately orchestrated combinations of video, lighting design, live orchestral music, acting, and food. A man lays asleep in a bed prior to the performance, and he awakens into his dreamstate, luring the audience with him, into a 30X30 foot box constructed only of screens and lighting. An electro-acoustic orchestra of 20 remains hidden behind a scrim for the entirety of the performance, channeling music into the space , and the audience's unconscious. For the final piece, the audience is provided sleep masks, paper, and pens, and are told to draw the images they hear. The lights are dimmed to pitch black, leaving the listener engulfed in sound, and sensorial isolation.

Aytia Matia and SYMPHO
present:
Tweetheart
Paul Haas and the masterminds at Sympho are doing it again, but this time with Aytia Matia's help! Tweetheart is an innovative orchestral concert based on the subject of love, spanning 4 centuries. The haunting ambiance will be setup in true Sympho fashion, with Aytia Matia providing the multimedia content and visual spectacle. Fingers of colored light will stretch up into the higher arches of a foggy steeple, while two massive church walls provide projection surfaces for live, processed footage of the orchestra. The music consists of classic repertoire interspersed and connected with original concert music by Paul Haas, Paul Fowler, Wynne Bennet, and Aytia Matia's own Grayson Sanders.
Performance date: 5/21/10

Aytia|Matia and PAVE
PRESENT:
THE BINDING PROJECT
In an effort to contribute to the work of foundations enacting real change in the community, Aytia|Matia has teamed up with charity PAVE (Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment), to provide the powerful multimedia content for their installation at the first ever Amnesty International Human Rights Arts Festival. The Binding Project is an international art empowerment campaign where participants write a word of empowerment on plastic zip tie bracelets. PAVE is currently collecting thousands of binding bracelets to be included in an installation art piece. These zip ties are what was used to bind the hands of PAVE Founder Angela Rose behind her back when she was abducted from a shopping mall parking lot.
