BEYOND / BEHIND

For BEYOND / BEHIND BL!NDMAN [hybrid] was – although mainly improvising – musically inspired by Futurist composers such as Lourié, Gnesin, Goedicke and composers who were influenced by Futurism, for instance Stravinsky, Antheil, Prokofiev … Next to the voice, machines stand in the central focus. The fascination for mechanics, movement and speed manifests in the use of Theremins, speakers as auto-generating sound objects, turntables and pure sinus signals. The deep gurgle sounds of noisemachines (cfr. intonarumori of the Italian Futurist Russolo) are created by bass tuba and tubax (double bass saxophone).
