Soundtrack from audiovisual performance by Steffi Weismann  
8. Dezember 2018 (WP), Heroines of Sound #5, HAU 2, Berlin
original lenght: 21 Min.

The composition reflects the relationship of nature and technology. Acoustic spaces and specifically amplified sounds immerse us in an abstract microcosm and yet remain close to our physical existence and perception. How does a 10 year old girl imagine life of earth in the future and how are scientists dealing with multi-resistant germs?
The timing and process of the composition is characterized by cicles, repetitions and unpredictable twists. Sounds of amplified brain waves or electrostatically charged hair are part of performative actions with microphoned and microscopized objects. With her live voice, the performer creates laryngeal vibrations, breaths or hissing noises that create synergies between machine, creature and plant, and mix with field recordings and live material sounds.

Scherben – cam kırıkları

Steffi Weismann: Chiffre (2024) Komposiiton für 4 Stimmen, Kazoos und Objekte. Die Aufnahme entstand bei einer Probe in Berlin im März 2024. Performer:innen: Maulwerker – Ariane Jeßulat, Henrik Kairies, Christian Kesten, Katarina Rasinski
Die Komposition basiert auf deutschen und französischen Texten die sich auf Codes und Geheimsprachen beziehen. Audiovisuelle, filmische Fragmente verbinden sich mit Klangaktionen im Raum (Reibeklänge an Boden, Wand, Fenster). Die Klänge und Stimmen werden auschließlich live erzeugt. Die Verfremdungen und Filter der Stimmklänge entstehen durch Kazoos, die verschieden starke Distortion-Effekte auf die Sprache legen.
