Areale

by Katharina Klement in collaboration with Manon Liu Winter
for two prepared pianos and 4-Channel tape

"Acoustic and electronic sounds meet in architectural space, interweave its proportions in a chronological and spectral manner, dismantle it, reflect it and put it back together."

The concept requires a multichannel system with a minimum of 6 discrete speaker systems and subwoofers. Flexible distribution of the sources is obtained by various signal splits and relatively complex console requirements. A 10 in/6 out system is mutiplied and modified, leaving us with a 22 by 10 matrix.

The performance at the Minoritenkirche Stein was recorded and a 5.1 surround-mixdown is available at the ORF online shop.
