The piece „Verzweigung“ is the symbiosis of 5 sound plants, which are in a constant musical movement, represented by the development of concrete sound to abstract sound mixture.
If the respective "plants" are still to be assigned individually at the beginning, they grow farther and farther in the course of the piece into a shape. They crawl away, meet and move away, make ramifications and "overgrow" the area.
Each sound plant consists of dynamic changing field recordings, divided into 12 delay channels, with different delay times and harmonic frequency shifts. Based on different algorithms, these frequency shifts generate sound spectra, that are different for each plant. This results in an acoustic space, which is in a constant motion and seems to communicate permanently with each other.
