Creation : 15 March 2018, Théâtre de Hautepierre, Strasbourg, France
Musicians: 4 percussionists and real time electronic equipment
Duration : 5′
Commissioned especially for Live @ Home #11, Unvoiced is designed as a parallel dimension to the voices of Nonsense. We go “through the looking glass” to speak only with the sounds and resonances of percussion – wood, metal, skins, and small objects. The sounds of the four performers are picked up by an electronic device, also played live, which analyses, transforms and increases them in real time to create “hyper instruments” that are neither acoustic nor electronic, but hybrid sounds producing unreal sounds. Hearing acts as a “zoom” in the sound and what was then inaudible becomes sound…
