about

"Z/Rzw-Shiiiiiii” comprises three audio artworks that deal with three personal non-musical themes. The self-recorded percussion and vocal sounds used for this purpose were determined in advance on the basis of the thematics within the work.

“Z” consists solely of percussion sounds and has a total length of 17:10 minutes. This piece addresses so-called “cyclic thought processes” and how these act in relation to mental growth. “Z” is a personal handling of this topic and allowed the artist to interact with the thematics via a constructed musical matrix and fixed compositional tools.

“Rzw-Shiiiiiii” is a dense and intense choral piece with a total length of 8:51 minutes. Each note is sung with a specific intention. “Rzw-Shiiiiiii” addresses the differentiation between “soul” and “spirit”, and explores the question of how these two aspects of the human being might be purposefully conveyed through the voice.

“---thehidden” is a homage to Iannis Xenakis's piece “Concrete PH” and lasts for 7:41 minutes in total. It delves into how sounds can co-exist in a very narrow and, in this case, high frequency range. It is about suggesting spatial depth and audio diversity. It is an approach towards how noises and sounds naturally act in relation to each other. To this end, percussion sounds, oral noises, mini-amp feedback and 2 violin bows were used.
