I cooperated for the first time with renowned visual artist Doris Schmid in:

MOMENT MAGNETIQUE
Doris Schmid: video/Pia Palme: sound

I worked with a combination of an electronic track and live performance. The theme for the music was membranes and transitional fields. My idea was to compose the music – including live performance – with a strong performative identity, as a juxtaposition to the visual level. I wanted to add yet another layer/dimension to the video present, in space, rather than merely creating a sound-track for a film. As materials, I used field recordings, processed analogue synthesizers, voice/s and my contrabass recorder.

In the first part, I read from texts which I wrote for the performance, while pacing up and down on the left side of the screen on stage. I used a throat microphone and radio transmission to spatialise my voice into the sound system. My compositional aim was to develop a specific dramaturgy of fragmented closeness and width respectively, by structuring differently shaped auditory fields. I merged sounds and musics from the past and the present during performance.

Relatively Scary

by Pia Palme & Electric Indigo (2014)

Pia Palme reflects the dynamic instability the passenger senses with her specific techniques of playing the contrabass recorder. Acceleration overcoming gravity is present in her sounds. Electric Indigo contrasts them with industrial noises to accentuate the rotation. Her uncanny pulse increasingly disintegrates as an incisive reminder of the finite nature of experience.

Garth Knox, viola and viola d’amore
performs works by György Ligeti, Ben Mungovin, Salvatore Sciarrino, Garth Knox, Pia Palme a.o.

The concert setup for my piece involves an installation.

GIB SIE WIEDER a warning commentary on resonance I
in four parts,
for viola d’amore, contrabass recorder
and live electronics transduced into a sounding object

More about the piece   >>>

The amplified resonant strings of the viola d’amore and the voice of Viennese vocalist Claudia Cervenka sounded out of this beautifully crafted old wooden box I brought from Austria, and sculptured paper…

And once more, goose feathers – also used by the performer.

I love this kind of performance: three hours,
including food and drink…and this…
thanks for sharing such a nourishing artistic environment!

Sabina Holzer (AT): Performance
Pia Palme (AT): Kontrabassflöte und Elektronik
Roland Schueler (AT): Cello
Brigitte Wilfing (AT): Performance

DAS FANTASTISCHE DRITTE widmet sich in einer Reihe von Salons unkonventionellen Partituren als Niederschrift, Dokumentation, Erinnerung und Arbeitstool und untersucht sie auf Übersetzungen in zeitgenössischen Tanz / Performance und angrenzende Kunstfelder.
Die Salons folgen einer musikalischen Mehrstimmigkeit, in der sich Unterschiede miteinander verweben, wie in einem vielseitigen Gespräch. Fragen sind „Was wäre eine zeitgenössische Partitur? Was soll durch deine Partitur wirksam werden? Welche Welt willst Du mit einer Partitur erzeugen?“
Prozess und Produkt wollen sich hier als mögliche „soziale Partituren” überlappen.
