Jennifer Walshe & Bernhard Gal

dub/ber/vie


Multichannel composition / concert performance in collaboration with the Irish composer / voice performer Jennifer Walshe.

Commissioned by ZKM, premiere at the Festival Stimme+, ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany, May 18th, 2006

 
dub/ber/vie explores different points of intersection between the voice and the space in which it exists. Using two sets of binaural headphones, a series of four-channel recordings were made by Jennifer Walshe and Bernhard Gal within a variety of spaces - a pet shop, the Turkish market in Kreuzberg, a farm for children, a supermarket and an apartment. In each place, the recordings were synchronised in terms of time, but not in terms of space – both composers wandered freely, picking up both global and local sounds. The content of these recordings inspired and shaped the creation of all acoustic materials used in the piece.
