Concentrating on random processes, Formfaktor offers eight extracts in the field of experimental composition. 
Each individual tracks was created using a generative patched Serge modular system and is an excerpt from longer recordings lasting up to several hours. 
Formfaktor is a further step in the direction of generative music - a continuous sound genesis with no beginning, no end.

Concept and production: Thomas Breuer, 2024

Julian of Norwich was an English mystic and anchoress. Her key work, the Revelations of Divine Love was written over 20 years, following a series of visions, or “shewings” she received from the 8th of May 1373 - and is now considered the first work in the English language written by a woman.

The premise is simple: Julian’s book is present at a reading table, along with a night light and a microphone. Anyone can come up to the book, open it wherever, and read it for others as long as they wish. Meanwhile, the musicians present improvise to the moment unfolding.

music by Siri Anna Flensburg, Tilde Edlund, Áron Birtalan.
words of welcome (not recorded, due to tech mishap) by Judith Kiros, Reverend Nick Howe and Áron Birtalan.
The night was hosted as part of Gatherings to Disappear - a 3-day symposium for performative practices lived spiritually and unruly thought. Production help from Gabriel Widing and Vincenzo Madaghiele.
