about
In August 2007, I was invited by Rinus van Alebeek to perform on his das kleine fieldrecordings festival in Berlin (a wonderful series of concerts by many remarkable experimental artists).
I decided on a half-playback, half-interactive setup. Some longer field recordings (underwater insects and fish, rustling bamboo, etc) were overlayed with long fades of varying lengths to create a moving acoustic tapestry. For the interactive part, I chose a number of shorter field recording samples that I triggered with my midified guitar, or that I fed from an mp3 walkman via a small speaker into the guitar pickup. Occasionally, I even included some actual guitar playing, adding some tonal colors. I had a rough idea of how the performance should evolve but everything was improvised.
An interesting experiment, a new way to paint with sounds, and a new experience for me.
