Winfried Ritsch — Impulsantwort 2023
ABSTRACT
The computer measures spaces, cuts, isolates, and distorts sounds, creating a deterministic composition in real time.
DOCUMENTATION
The music fills the space, and the space fills the music.
The sound material is an impulse, which is spatially recorded and forms both the score and the sound material through repeated resampling. The result is a sound space that plays the concert hall. A cello intervenes with phrases, enriching the sound space until it is overridden by it, and the computer sounds become a static musical space. For Space01 at the Kunsthaus Graz, a special Ambisonics version for the IKOsaeder loudspeakers was composed.
Composition and computer musician: Winfried Ritsch
Cello: Anton Tkachuk
