Roars Bangs Booms – 7 Variationen für Stimme und Lautmalerei
Thunder, Whistles, Booms, Grumbles, Snorts…
These onomatopoeic words recall the different sounds of the modern industrial landscape. As part of the Manifesto of Futurist Music „The Art of Noises“ by Luigi Russolo, they are the starting point of this performance work: 101 years later I have written seven variations for human voice in which noise not only becomes a Leitmotiv in music, but it also turns into musical material itself. I embody these noises, I hear them, I perceive them as urban soundscapes of the present, I transcribe these sounds in drawing and interpret them with my voice and with my body in order to reveal their beauty, while playing with the expectation and imagination of the audience.

My equipment is my choir. I’ll be a choir that clings to my lips. I’m trying to mutate, it will not succeed. I’m trying to remember, my choir will anticipate.

Statistik
Can a music business market research become a creative tool for a sound action?
I have a friend who plays in a famous German pop band with a major label contract. He told me that this label before the release of their latest album, has a conducted a market research about the expectations of the audience in order to involve them in the production process. I wondered then whether and how this method can be used in the composition of new music. A questionnaire…? This Performance addresses the question of what the audience of sound art expects.
