Programme
Sonic meditation XIX (Pauline Oliveiros, 1971) Deep listening and tuning in to one self and one’s environment.
Solo: a little story(2016-2020) Little acoustic stories developed through my listening to the world and collecting noises.
Breath (2019) The soft sound of breathing unfolds, spreads, travels and mixes with the wind.
Floating moment (2019) A moment in time is narrated through a precise written descripton of sonic and visual events, thus becoming a score that can be reproduced in musical form.
Approchoaches and Departure – Appearance and Disappearances (Pauline Oliveros 1994) The score provides each performer with a strategy for approaching or departing from a pitch of his or her own chosing.
(Recording of the Iklektik concert by Isa Ferri available here with timings in summary).
Marie Cécile Reber
Swiss composer Marie-Cécile Reber works with field recording and electronic instruments to transform unusual and imperceptible sounds, mostly of Nature (insects, frogs, ants or worms) into pictorial soundscapes, live performances and site specific installations. At the heart of Reber’s working methods lies the subtle border between concrete noise and musical sounds, natural rhythms and composed ones.
