The work is conceived as an unfolding of trace material that marks its original source: soundings made on an upright piano.  This is my piano. The piano that has been by my side as a tool for composition but never, until now, the actual source of my composition.  A pocketful of playful recordings from the soundboard, piano keys, pedals and strings are the sonic roots.  Throughout, and within the transformations and messing-up of the source sounds, there lies an inherent trace, a timbral DNA,  a semblance of sonic integrity that is the ephemeral body of Piano Trace.

Two, musically-explicit threads knit and weave the interlinked composition’s halves. They are the cords, the ropes, that ultimately suspend the concentrated and shifting gestures and its interruptions.

This is a study with short snippets of audio examples about audificated processes of our everyday gadgets like our cell phones, cameras, smart phones and laptops.
Auscultations no. 1 to 16 are made by using a electromagnetic coil, no. 17 to 19 are made by audification processes of assembly code on software side (formal materiality) and auscultations no. 20 to 23 are produced with a HF-detector.

This is another MakeNoise Morphagene variation on William Cornysh's (1465-1523)tune, Ah, Robyn.  Very slow and subtle changes bring kaleidoscopic sonic/melodic shifts.
