For the percussionist, there are two ‘rooms’ in the work: one which is occupied by the tam-tams expansive resonance together with the piano with an open lid, and then one room that is intimate, close to the floor with the small instruments and everyday objects. In essence, the work is a meditation in the mediation between the two acoustic spaces.

Setup presentation

Keywords: Nature, small sounds, substained sounds

“Movement in water is something that often catches my attention, as well as reflections in water. The pictures in the folder are of stone, and I love the textures and the complexity – while the stone itself in a bigger picture maybe could be seen as quite simple. I think that is something I would enjoy to explore in this project: the small variations in sound creating a bigger picture, a bigger form or a richness” Maia Viken

Prototype on instrument made by Jonas Evenstad, following the three keywords.

Sebastián Zuleta
