Writing with Voices
Ongoing project about tape-recorder compositions of the 1950s and 1960s from a studio work perspective, that is from the crafting and experimentation with recording tools. It is inspired by practice based musicology, by questions of re-enactment, redoing, reconsidering and puts the learning and getting to know versus appropriation. I am also interested in theoretical approaches to the questions arising from composing with recordings.
Writing with Voices is part of the Bern Academy of the Arts project.
