Matt Choboter (CA/DK)
prepared piano, microtonal zithers and an interactive multi-channel installation.
An immersive dream-sharing ritual where the fragile and ephemeral sounds of pre-recorded organs and live prepared piano come together through a vibrant and ecstatic forest installation. The installation consists of recycled Canadian and Scandinavian woods. The discarded wood has been given new life. With careful sculpting of the wood and attaching transducers to the wood, each “tree” is able to tell a story through their own resonances and materiality. The pieces of wood act as electro-acoustic resonators whereby composed & improvised sounds can pass through.
The installation can take many forms and spaces. It’s open to all ages and can be quite interactive.
