Die By The Sword

This piece is based on an audio recording made by NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover to which a track of improvised guitar playing was added.
The original file can be found at https://soundcloud.com/nasa/sounds-of-perseverance-mars-rover-driving-sol-16-16-minutes
where it has been released under a Creative Commons license. Reverb and EQ were added to the sample as well as the guitar recording, while the two sources were dynamically panned in opposite directions - the rover starts from the right, the guitar from the left. The duration of the original file was not changed. The guitar features polyphonic per-string processing and was recorded in one take.
Perseverance also collects stone samples that a future Mars mission will hopefully return to earth.

Mars Sample Return - Perseverance Driving

Am Meer, Schubert (Pierre Korzilius, S.K. - CNMAT 1996)

Interaction with a sound installation by Jens Brand as part of the GHOST exhibition at Galerie Weißer Elefant (winter 2022/2023). 16 motors are attached to a door which acts as a resonator. They're controlled by the output of the spectral analysis of various sources. In normal operation these are 3 microphones placed throughout the gallery + a sound file. For the performance however, the motors were following my guitar sounds.
This recording is the first set of the evening. The other part needs more editing and might follow later.
