Echolot

The lis­ten­er can con­stant­ly rearrange, record and re-influ­ence the live mix togeth­er with the per­form­ers and sug­gest new and oth­er spo­ken or musi­cal accents, a dif­fer­ent text pas­sage or speak in oth­er lan­guages. The con­struc­tion is there­fore a liv­ing instru­ment to research the sound­ing depts of the library. Visu­al­ly we play with dif­fer­ent axis, that shift the per­spec­tive lead­ing always back to the lis­ten­ing. The books and the read­ers over­lay, scores and play­ers, as basic ele­ments of the always chang­ing com­po­si­tion.
The project was devel­oped for the library of the Goethe Insti­tut Mon­tre­al for the nuit blanche 2016 and pre­sent­ed as stage per­for­mance at the matral­ab of the Guy Con­cor­dia Uni­ver­si­ty Mon­tre­al, in Decem­ber at Miss Heck­er, Berlin and at Goethe Insti­tut Sao Paulo.
