The basic idea is that of a musical kaleidoscope consisting of
pre-produced sounds and motives of various lengths. These miniatures could each stand alone, but when put together they form a larger whole. In the concert situation, they are accessed as feeds in a freely selectable order and the musicians enter into a live dialogue with the recording. These modules are like solid parts, drifting in a kind of plasma of improvisations that carries and connects them... 
Aylin Aykan, piano (extended playing techniques)

KaleiDuoscope (Excerpt Modul 2) Aylin Aykan & Ardhi Engl

The basic idea is that of a musical kaleidoscope consisting of
pre-produced sounds and motives of various lengths: distant echoes of an old Anatolian song and Mozart’s Rondo in A minor.  These miniatures could each stand alone, but when put together they form a larger whole. In the concert situation, they are accessed as feeds in a freely selectable order and the pianist enters into a live dialogue with the recording. The musical soliloquy contains some exciting aspects,
above all the idea of a dialogue with the past, as if different time planes mix. Due to Aylin’s rich palette of experimental playing techniques -  many oft them inside, on the strings - the modern concert piano reveals a surprisingly ancient soul! The modules are like solid parts, drifting in a kind of plasma of improvisations that carries and connects them...
