I LOVE YOU HILDEGARD! (2024)
_________________
I LOVE YOU HILDEGARD!
is a piece for artificial choir and electric voltage recorded through an ARP 2500 modular synthesizer;
composed for a 16-channel surround system.
I LOVE YOU HILDEGARD! is in a way a creation of an fictional reality, consisting of superimposed and modified fragments of Hildegard's monophonic pieces forming a completely new polyphonic piece for 12 voices;
it is a far-fetched fantasy and an idea of what Hildegard's music might have been like had it not been as we imagine it today, as well as a take on issues of truth, interpretation and manipulation in the sphere of music and sound.
Since July, I have been pursuing a development scholarship in the topic “3D sound technology and VR”. The fellowship includes meetings with Brigitta Muntendorf, Chikashi Miyama, Nieves de la Fuente and Rafal Ryterski. As part of the fellowship, I am also creating a binaural/VR version of my piece “I LOVE YOU HILDEGARD!”The fellowship, which I am pursuing until 28.12.2024, was funded by the European Union NextGenerationEU.
