This piece of aural beauty arrived just in time to give that special sprinkle of wonder and make the weekend magical! Because Cassandra Miller‘s CD “O Zomer!”… it is, simply put, pure magic! The process of listening (or, well, my process of listening when purely being in the role of the experiencing-receptor) is almost always:…

Immersed in Orchestra… on a Wire
The Darmstädter ferienkurse für neue musik had its very first performance of the festival. Well… No. Not a performance. Not an installation. A sound immersion! Because Christina Kubisch’s ‘Orchestra on a Wire’ was just that (for me at least). An offer of experiencing an orchestra, a performance, in a way you haven’t before, proximity to…
No contrition when it comes to “Measurements as Contritions”
“Measurement as Contrition: Three canons”… or… when people become time and sound becomes clay and rocks and sand and wood and twigs and metals… and suddenly you feel like there is a dome made of air, right there above and under and around you, helping you hear and listen the inside of your thought. Evan…

Within Atoui’s Within
This is not usually a place I would write about a work/piece/performance I participated in (setting aside now the ongoing battle of thoughts on who is the performer who creator who recipient and if and how blurred those lines are…), but taking in account that it is an experience that had such an impact, and…
Skin. Skin. Skin.
Mysterious voice reveals a passage… This passage… a door to the space that has for far too long been left abandoned. The unsettled dust that raises upon this opening, reveals the unexplored with each particle… uncertain whether it is a particle of light or dust, we feel drawn and obliged to follow and enter. Enter…
When the Sideshow is the main show
Have you ever thought anout what do all the manmade creatures of the amusement parks do at night?Do they come to life? Would they, do they, get upset? Of how they are treated. Do they have feeling and thoughts of rebellion and overtaking their “masters”, the human? How loud, or how silently and steely creepy…
The Force of Fure
Have you ever been inside of a glacier? How about being a Turritopsis dohrnii frozen within an iceberg of a glacier. An iceberg that is further going to melt. That is melting. And when absolutely melted, you, this practically immortal jellyfish, are ready to restart the new cycle of your life… with taking a breath. …
