In the original proposal we wrote:
Those are the 4 modes that define the 4 different parts of the composition, by generating different mutations of the Luther composition 'Mytten wir ym leben synd'/Media Vita In Morte Summus, evolving along 4 different algorithms. The rhythms and timings are set in realtime by the prosody of one of the musicians reading Kropotkin's Letter to Lenin from 1920. Maybe it is barely heard, but it is driving the musical score, 4 times in a different way. Visually 4 different sceneries flow into one another, following the sound output during the performance. We are working on a libretto composed in a future language, please read the samples below. The main musicians may be (TBC): Geza Roman Bobb (DE), Gívan Belá (BE/CZ), and some other people (TR). Guest performers will be invited during the making of the piece, maximum 4. The piece will be worked out collaboratively by the main musicians and guests in Berlin and Istanbul. Where the performances occur is not so important for now, but presumably they will be in a fablab, a community garden, a meeting space and a park, streamed and recorded before a live audience. Instrumentation: many, including computers and voices. And ordinary objects found in the chosen locations…
