Michaela Davies's “Duty” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2015, category Digital Musics & Sound Art.
*Duty* explores sonic possibilities and human limits, harnessing the bodily convulsions produced by electrical impulses to control seven performers in a work composed in one octave for fourteen handbells.
