Solistični kvadrofonični performans v živo
s 4-kanalno trobento in trompete concrète
vmesnikom. Zvoki trompete concrète izvirajo
iz pitch setov znanstvenih, medicinskih
in glasbenih vilic, terenskih posnetkov
in številnih posnetkov živalskega jezika,
narejenega z uporabo roga, razširjene tehnike
in glasu. Kvadrofonična trobenta služi tudi
diseminaciji/uprostorjenju živega glasu in
razširjenih tehnik trobente (ki so pogosto
precej ‘zverinske’).

Navdih črpa iz del Jorgeja Luisa Borgesa,
in sicer Knjige izmišljenih bitij in njegovega
eseja Analitični jezik Johna Wilkinsa. V celem
komadu eterični toni tavajo med kruljenjem,
ječanjem, klici, songi in kriki čudnega novega
sveta. Izmišljeno bitje želi za poslušalca
ustvariti serijo ljudskih taksonomij in
umišljenih krajin – odpreti prostor tako za
kontemplativno kot absurdno. 

Vstopnice: 7 € / 5 € (Vstopnice velja tudi za koncert Nič več radijske tišine.)

Organizacija: Zavod Sploh. V sodelovanju z Mestom žensk in

Tomaž Grom

Live solo quadraphonic performance
which utilizes a custom 4-channel trumpet
and a trompete concrète interface. The
trompete concrète sounds are derived from
scientific, medical and musical tuning fork
pitch sets, field recordings, and an extensive
personal animal language – sourced from
the interplay of horn, extensions, and voice.
The quad trumpet also serves to disseminate/
spatialize the live voice and extended trumpet
techniques (which often have a rather beastly
quality).

Imaginary Being takes its inspiration
from the works of Jorge Luis Borges - from
the Book of Imaginary Beings and from his
essay The Analytical language of John Wilkins.
Throughout the piece, ethereal tones wander
through the weather amidst the grunts,
groans, calls, songs, and shrieks of a strange
new world. Imaginary Being aims to create
a series of folk taxonomies and fantastical
landscapes for the listener – opening a space
both for the contemplative and absurd. 

Organisation: Zavod Sploh. In collaboration with City of Women and Menza pri koritu – ACC Metelkova city.
