Description: It is a terrible thought that the death of a loved one should be a gain for us. But the truth is that we can grow from all experiences if we want to.

“TheraPsy is a special software for psychotherapy—Thera with Th like therapy, not like Terra: Earth, even if TerraPsy were a much better fit, since the Earth, i.e., Gaia, or, better, THE BLUE PLANET and the SELF, which is worked on in therapy, came into being at the same time after all.”

Lia Sudermann’s podcast is about feedback as a group dynamic therapy method, about self-responsibility and guilt, about the power of now, and about what the conquest of the self has to do with the conquest of outer space.

Karl F. Gerber Approaches Re-Assembled (2020 / 2021) 5:18 Das Stück beruht auf Klangmaterial aus Aufnahmen meiner Komposition Approaches für Flöte, Altflöte und dem von mir gebauten interaktiven Violinautomat. Dies stellt ein interaktives „Computermusik“- Stück mit ausschließlich akustischen Klangerzeugern dar: Flöten und mechatronisch angetriebene Violine. Vom Ansatz her ein Duett aus dem Moment heraus; im Hier und Jetzt. Nach meiner Anregung schuf Friedemann von Rechenberg nun eine elektronische Assemblage der Instrumentalklänge und der mechanischen Artefakte des elektro-mechanischen Automaten. Quellmaterial waren die Tonspuren aus einer Filmdoku des Werks von Hans R. Weiss, die selbstredend auch die Querflötenstimme enthielt (Karina Erhard). Zusätzlich trug ich noch Nahaufnahmen von den mechanischen Klangartefakten des Mechanismus bei, dafür wählte ich teilweise extreme mechanische Anregung. Das ursprüngliche interaktive Stück Approaches lebt aus dem Moment heraus, wenngleich die Algorithmen eine rigide Struktur vorgeben. Dort trug die Verantwortung für den musikalischen Zusammenhang im Detail die Flötistin Karina Erhard. Bei der Assemblage habe ich den Ablauf und die Einbettung der Strukturen an Friedemann von Rechenberg überantwortet. Die Maschine verkörpert beinahe unbeugsam Spektren, Strukturen, Resonanzen, Rhythmen – kein Vergleich mit elektronischer Klangsynthese. Wir akzeptieren dies, jetzt oder nie.       ENGLISH The piece is based on sound material from recordings of my composition Approaches for flute, alto flute and the interactive violin automaton that I built. This represents an interactive “computer music” piece with exclusively acoustic sound generators: Flutes and mechatronically driven violin. In terms of approach, a duet out of the moment; in the here and now. Following my suggestion, Friedemann von Rechenberg then created an electronic assemblage of the instrumental sounds and the mechanical artefacts of the electro-mechanical automaton. The source material comes from the soundtrack of a film documentary of the work by Hans R. Weiss, which of course also contained the flute part (Karina Erhard). In addition, I contributed close-ups of the mechanical sound artefacts of the mechanism, for which I partly chose extreme mechanical excitation. The original interactive piece Approaches lives out of the moment, although the algorithms provide a rigid structure. There, the flutist Karina Erhard was responsible for the musical context in detail. In the assemblage, I handed over the process and the embedding of the structures to Friedemann von Rechenberg. The machine almost unbendingly embodies spectra, structures, resonances, rhythms—no comparison with electronic sound synthesis. We accept this, now or never.
