EVENT HORIZON

(2023)

composed for Kling Klang Klong, commissioned Himmel unter Berlin

Event Horizon was composed whilst working with the collective Kling Klang Klong and commissioned by Himmel unter Berlin.

The sound for the piece explores the sung voice as a locus for metaphors of space and time. Tracing a line through vocal musical history, the piece combines classical ornamentation with technological transformation to produce hybrid voices- sounds which point both forward and backwards through time. Over the course of the installation, the voice is presented through song, as a state, and finally, as information, with text fragmenting and dissolving into nothingness.

The piece takes the form of a 12.1 surround installation, and features the voice of Tyler Bouque. It can also be heard in stereo and is optionally accompanied by a light installation.
