Introductory note

‘in my maze’ is an independent sound composition based on a walk-in 3D installation that I developed in Second Life in 2024. It was inspired by my many years of work with the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse. To me, Second Life is not a game, but rather an artistic medium — a walk-in chat room complete with spatial stereo sound and 3D video. As a composer, builder and performer, I utilise its immersive capabilities in ways that transcend the concepts of commercial metaverses.

Avatars traverse my semi-transparent sound labyrinth, activating location-based sound objects and generating sound sequences that emerge from the situation. Their paths are an expression of their individual freedom to create sound in digital space. As with simultaneous chats, streams and background processes, time becomes fragmented and runs in parallel. Sonic coherence emerges through movement and interaction. 

Transformed swallow calls (natural sound), glockenspiel notes (human musical instrument) and modulated sine tones (digital world) intertwine to form a new tonal topology. Above a fundamental tone of 200 Hz, I construct pure minor thirds (6:5) that do not form octaves, producing audible beats. This is accompanied by my whispered text, 'Ancestralities' – a multilingual, poetic, fragmentary exploration of origin, inherited patterns, and emotional ambivalence towards one's own ancestry. 

By encoding interactive spatial structures as multi-layered sound forms, my maze subverts conventional listening experiences and deliberately sets transgressive impulses in motion. Rather than presenting 'internet music' as an aesthetic of permanent streaming, the composition offers an acoustic cartography of a metaverse in which the perception of time, identity and space can be experienced in sensual, fragmented and ambivalent ways. 

I 'play' my original Second Life installation as though it were an interactive instrument. Its spatial arrangement forms the tonal basis of an original fixed media composition. The labyrinth structure is translated into a rhizomatic network architecture comprising branching paths and an open form with no linear dramaturgy. Like the labyrinth itself, the text fragments reflect inner and genealogical turmoil.

A performance video by the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse documents the audiovisual context of my 3D installation in Second Life (https://youtu.be/4CRTNbabxw4?si=m6OJsFsW7oPFxEeA&t=1255, from 20:08). All the sounds you hear were played in real time by the avatars in Second Life during the performance. This is not a recording or post-production soundtrack.

I started with the feeling I had at 5 pm on a Tuesday in December. At just about 8 minutes, this is probably the longest track I've done. Yes, I like doing things that are lovely (in my opinion) but slightly ... off.

This mix of tracks was edited together in July 2019, a time that now represents the close of a 7 year life chapter living in Berlin. It was originally intended to speak to the transitory nature of that summer for me.
