comprimere (2020)
for cl, vl, vla, vc und perc (ratchet + iPad)
commissioned by dèdalo ensemble, Brescia (Italy)
The piece “comprimere” is about compression on different levels. The music of the ensemble gets recorded by the iPad (percussionist) and therefore compressed. During repetitions the ensemble becomes weaker while the digital recorded version becomes more and more present. The energetic movements of the players to produce music get replaced by a simple click or scroll on the screen. This transition from a live performance by traditional instruments to the digital registered sound through little speakers makes the music easier and cheaper to reproduce, but it also means a loss of sound quality. Furthermore, the musical material gets time compressed until only short beats and noise remain at the end.
