Auditorium

auditorium is a piece for small percussion instruments, whose sound is captured by binaural microphones and manipulated by a computer. It explores four ideas: the new perspective over time enabled by the use of electronic means in performing arts, namely through looping, repetition and by raising awareness of the structure of events over time; the specific way of listening that emerges from binaural recording, developed in this case as a way to use the act of listening as the performing process; the gestural control over feedback; the use of digital means as hidden prosthesis that augment acoustical instruments.
