schneit es klänge? auch.
aber eigentlich geht es nicht um abbildlichkeit. sonden um erfahrung.

zunächst mit einer klangfuge von annie dunsford, die sich speziell für die erfahrung von entfremdung interessiert.
dann mit einem tanz im, um und für den schnee. der diese erfahrung anders lokalisiert – und auf seine weise transfomriert.

[english]

is it snowing sound? perhaps.
but then it's not about mimesis, but about experience.

first with a sound fugue by annie dunsford focusing on a very special experience. the experience of of alienation:

"What is the relationship between identity and sound? In sound, can we discover/ invent/ lose our selves? How does art make us feel when we experience it and create it? –does it disassociate us from ourselves, does it localize us, does it allow us to recover/rediscover our selves ? Do we feel nothing? Do we feel alienated from the art itself? Is experiencing art and sound an experience of alienation or discovery? After the experience of art, are we unchanged?
The intention of Suono Fuga is to both alienate the listener from themselves and from the sound, then return them to it. The sonic adventure is thus an adventure of departure and a return, a loss of self and a rediscovery of self through sound." [A.D.]

and then with a snow dance locating this experience elsewhere – and transformimg it as well:

"Tianna Kennedy and James Blackshaw, Slavoj Žižek and Tarikh Korula. Four members of Brooklyn’s August Sound Coalition bring audio recordings and experiments celebrating winters past, lamenting their loss, their mayhem and attempting to conjure their precipitate evidence in all its forms." [T.R.]
