Dead Violets (Jeff Surak, Bethany Moore, Thomas Ekelund)
and
Jennifer Walshe & Bernhard Gál: dub/ber/vie
Multichannel composition / concert performance, 2006
dub/ber/vie
explores different points of intersection between the voice and the
space in which it exists. Using two sets of binaural headphones, a series
of four-channel recordings were made by Jennifer Walshe and Bernhard Gal
within a variety of spaces - a pet shop, the Turkish market in Kreuzberg,
a farm for children, a supermarket and an apartment. In each place, the
recordings were synchronised in terms of time, but not in terms of space
- both composers wandered freely, picking up both global and local sounds.
The content of these recordings inspired and shaped the creation of all
acoustic materials used in the piece.dub/ber/vie
was commissioned by ZKM, the German Center for Art and Media and premiered
at the Festival Stimme+ at ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany in May 2006.

stormcloud, a black as bile, three headed beast. Dead Violets is Jeffrey
Surak (Violet, Critikal, et cetera), Bethany Moore and Thomas Ekelund
(Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words, Teeth, et cetera).
