Trans Europe Express - baile funk remix

Performance for brass ensemble and fluorescent lights with magnetic ballasts. With the Zinc & Copper ensemble: Elena Kakaliagou (horn), Hilary Jeffery (trombone), Robin Hayward (microtonal tuba).

Farewell to a Dying Light bids a poetic farewell to an obsolescent sound: that of the fluorescent lights and their hum, once so common in the urban soundscape and in the private sphere. Their characteristic buzz, undesired but mostly unnoticed, is the most common translation of the idea of electricity into sound, yet we soon won’t hear it anymore: fluorescent lights as know them, with magnetic starters, are being phased out in favor of silent and more efficient LEDs, CFLs or electronic starters, transforming that hum into an audio relic of the XXth century.

By equalling the lights and live musicians and making them partners in music, the installation also raises, albeit in a very subtle and metaphoric level, the question of what are the limits of humanity. Can a ubiquitous sound — created by humans and part of their daily lives for decades — be something estranged from the idea of humanity?

Recorded at the Zwinligkirche as part of the Audiovisionen concert series, Berlin, April 2019.
