work in progress ---- Forest II ---

just a quick update before i get into details about the eklective affinities project and more
details about the art of listening .. ! i am working on my first large scale arts installation..
well, its actually not mine, but its quite big still.. here you can see the construction of it:



its an unusual site in weimar and its a pretty amazing installation by media artist chris ziegler.
he has chosen to work with me as a sound artist/listening artist and i am also assisting him on the project. so much for contrast, if you think of the intimacy of eklective affinities.. the main
part of the installation actually is three performance pieces.. so we have a group of fifteen dancers working with three composers.. my part is to make the installation sonically available for the public..

the installation is now done and we are working and experimenting with it.. what that would be in detail i shall let you know soon : )

thanks for listening, blog : )

Eklective affinities

These are the details i was promising earlier on in one post about what i am up to
these days. Together with Live Art Legend Roger Hill alias Mandy Romero i was
working on an improvisation entitled "elecitve affinities" for the last 6 days. It was a bit of a mad one, since i picked up Roger in berlin last week on thursday and performed with him the following day in Weimar at a Gallery called the ACC Gallery. We have known each other for a very long time, but never actually performed together.. So here are some pictures of the performance:





I will want to go into more detail into what it is that we are doing. For the moment i would want to say that it was quite a magical performance for us and the audience. It surely is amazing to be working with an artist as versatile as Roger Hill. In relation to my art it is deeply challenging work since i the art of listening in this case lies in relating to the actions of another human being and react on it instantly in front of an audience.
So i am very happy about this unexpected success and will keep you up to date..

thanks for listening, blog !
