Similis
8-channel electroacoustic composition
studio : Klang Projekte Weimar / 2004 / duration: 13:00 min
first performance in the original 8-channel version on 9 October 2004 during the Festival Audiovisionen Cologne
Similis is the last composition of a series of three, all dealing with the idea of ritual, without wanting to copy a historically delivered one.
All three compositions play with the thought of the simultaneousness of very different, us surrounding sound phenomena, which celebrate together an imaginary ceremony. In the composition rojo, the source sounds were recordings and sounding memories - mainly voices - of different journeys of the last years. In object - obstacle the sounds came mainly from self-made resonators, recorded with contact microphones.
Similis connects now these two opposite sound worlds, the voice-human-like and technical-instrument-like into an interaction of the contrasts.
