NUT | LAC 3
Electronic live performance (UA, 2023)

NUT | LAC 3 is an intensification and a purely electronic realization of the orchestra’s previous (NUT | LAC 1) and Ensemble (NUT | LAC 2): a very slowly changing stream of sound is interrupted by slowly changing, drilling pulses.
The incessant interruption in turn results in the impression of tipping back into a flow. Sooner or later, a continuous drone merges with its surroundings; continuous beats lead to social synchronization. The pulses and pauses in NUT | LAC throw us back on ourselves and bind the underlying drones to the here and now. At the same time, they unsettle the perception of time: the formation of focal points, accelerations and decelerations, shifts and expansions all take place in the material, but also in the mind.

Continuum? Repetition? Window open, window closed.
“The same thing, always different.”
The zoom is only felt.
Trip, wall, pull, offer, invitation.
Interruption: Shut up! Shutter, curtain.
