Nyloïd is an impressive sound sculpture, a huge tripod consisting of three six-metre nylon limbs animated by a sophisticated technological device. Sensual, animal and threatening, Nyloïd draws its dramatic power from the reactions of its plastic and sound material to a range of mechanical constraints. Similar to a living object, its tension, effort and suffering, resulting from its contortions and vocal manifestations, are palpable. 

Formed in 1997, Cod.Act is made up of musician, composer and computer music specialist André Décosterd and architect and visual artist Michel Décosterd.
