about

This composition is written for three piece TAA Choir, laptop and modular synthesizer, where the choir are singing simultaneous ascends and descends following semitone/whole tone/semitone rules (inspired by D. Shostakovich), and the laptop is using Max/MSP to use the consonants in the singing and process dreamlike / bestial landscapes around the choir piece, the vowels are processed by the modular to make the metal sheet.

Metal and stuttering bestial consonants draw a recurrent dream of mine in which I'm dodging being stabbed. The perpetrator has no face, only grunts and I dodge at really close proximity.
