Verschränkung – ins Offene - Gerald Eckert
Sound complexes, as compositional building blocks subjected to different transformation processes and partially functioning as a structural level in another work, are used as starting elements in Verschränkung – ins Offene. This time initially in the opposite way by removing and changing individual basal layer levels into unfinished (initial) core elements, they are again subjected to various transformation and modulation processes and thus ultimately overwritten. This means that the elements follow a new orientation, palimpsest-like sound traces are created, which, in relation to their original properties, become elements removed from their origin, distantly formed remnants of their own past. In the end, these acquired rudiments are superimposed in their own time levels and different densities, modulate each other and thus move completely beyond the initial horizon.
The flute uses material from the piece ferne Tiefe for contrabass flute, orchestra and live electronics. However, this material has been modified once again, and its nature and structure have been altered to create a true counterpart to the electronics.
