Signals I (clip)
location-based audio recordings for Smartphones in cooperation with
„Music from the Cloud“ and Academy of Arts Berlin.
These compositions, consisting of casual mobile recordings together with piano passages by the composer himself, represent a compressed and self-contained
world with the inclusion of various perceptual factors from RADIALSYSTEM V.
This amalgamation of „ad hoc recordings“ and „piano performance“ reflects current trends in architecture - the multi-layer aspect, reflected in the technical structure of the pieces.
The pieces are distributed to four points. They form a symbolic spiral and a musical cover.
All compositions were adjusted for the headphones.
