Important Note: For an accurate audio rendering, please use headphones.

Composed for two simultaneous vocal groups and live electronics, "Im Keller" (In the Cellar) addresses notions of dislocation and isolation through auditory experiences of enclosure. In this work the performance space is virtually divided in two, with each half simultaneously assigned to virtual spaces of unique properties that are in constant contact with each other as well as the physical space.

"Im Keller" engages with enclosure not through mere room simulations or suggested boundaries, but through the ways in which virtual spaces are made visible by movement. In this work, movement is not limited to moving a sound source from one fixed point to another in a space, but is approached as coeval happenings within perceived spaces, the properties of which are mediated, colored, and tuned by the corporeal responses of the performers.

With this approach to movement, the audience is accordingly invited to sit in one of the two virtualized spaces, which are arranged to position the audience to face each other from within each simultaneously constructed virtualized space. The piece is performed twice with a short pause in between, during which the audience is invited to change spaces.

"Im Keller" was premiered by Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart at St. Elizabeth-Kirche in Berlin. In order to offer a fine-tuned realization, acoustic measurements (i.e., arrival points of specular reflections, early decay-time, definition, clarity, etc.) of the St. Elisabeth-Kirche were modeled. For future performances, these measurements are to be used for reference. The two simultaneous vocal groups, referred to as seeds, can be performed as stand-alone discourses.

"Im Keller" is dedicated to Neue Vocalsolisten and Carl Rosman who have been reminding me that it is crucial to keep writing even the conditions we are in imposing the otherwise. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Alexis Baskind and Max Bruckert. Without their commitment and solidarity, none of these would have been possible. I wholeheartedly thank them all.
