Im Eröffnungsspiel verdichten sich zunehmend die Klänge, werden zu polyrhythmische Strukturen, lösen sich voneinander, überlagern sich, bilden Schichten aus Klangwolken. Je nach Verlauf löst sich das akustische Bild im Endspiel auf.
Die Kontrolle über die zu hörende Klangschaft alterniert zwischen
Spielenden (Taktik, Geschwindigkeit) und Programmcode (Sampleauswahl,
Paramater), das Schachbrett fungiert als Schnittstelle.
„We can act on the tape physically, cutting it, modifying its replay speed. Only the act of listening by a listener can provide us with an account of the perceptible result of these manipulations.“[6]Die Radikalität lässt sich auch bei John Cage finden, der vor allem mit dem Zufall als Element gegen intentionale Ereignisse arbeitete. Mithilfe der freien / Open Source Software Pure Data Extended entsteht bei der Klangschachmalerei etwas stets Neues, unwiederholbares.
Anthemity I reflects how the Europeans deal with national and supranational identity by erasing national borders on the map. 27 moving boxes are placed in a room in a relative distance of the EU member state capitals. Each box contains a computer, playing specific versions of the European anthem in a randomized loop and by that representing the capitals. Referring to the legislative period of the EU parliament, every fifth time the anthem is played, all computers are synchronized via the wireless network.
Visitors walking through the room will discover new acoustic axes, interferences, filterings or attenuations, as well as harmonious additions. ANTHEMITY II Twelve stars arranged in a circle represent the EU visually. They symbolise the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe. The number is fix while the amount of members is not. Mobility is the key word and, therefore, there is no singular home but homes. Anthemity II recreates this circle by replacing the stars with moving boxes as a symbol of un-rooted inhabitants, denying borders voluntarily or because of economic reasons. Each box contains one speaker and is choosen at random, while the canon-like is based on program code. ANTHEMITY II The gap between citizens and the EU parliament is noticable. Only a few interested or somehow involved people know the names of the political groups: FEV and ALDE are just two out of seven. Did you know that? These groups merge the interests of several different national parties and thereby Europeans elect their EU representatives more or less indirectly. How much democracy is left in the political system? With ANTHEMITY III, the parliament of the European Union is hearable. As the country-specific seats Members of Parliament are taken into account, the intensity varies in a specific way. Hence the composition alternates between summarising of individual members of one political group and the allocation of a single country across the political groups.
