:: Correspondences remixed - now ONLINE Charles Baudelaire’s poem “Correspondences” is the basis for a composition by Gene Pritsker, originally scored for chorus, chamber orchestra, Di.J. (live Samplestra electronics) and accompanied by a live visual composition of luma.launisch. The original piece was premiered at the Musikfest Bremen in 2007 with Kristjan Järvi's Absolute Ensemble, the Latvian State choir "LATVIJA" and Astrid Steiner. In the concert "Correspondences remixed" Gene Pritsker manipulates the live instruments and chorus and improvises on the material with electronics, while Steiner visualizes the poem live to the music. Baudelaire's "Correspondences" describes the scents and smells of our environment, originally focusing on the sensation of nature. The visuals show the beauty of nowadays environment and visualize the scents of a metropolis – an homage to New York. .
7 Minutes 20 Seconds is a loop of my video "WHO ARE YOU? SAID THE CATERPILLAR" and JOHANNES GIRARDONI's installation Passage Room. The video refers to the different aspects of self-perception and identity in contrast with social projection. It describes the process when familiar patterns fade as the projection screen becomes empty in audio-visual analogies that underline the toughness of this battle. The music is composed by techno wizard GREGOR LADENHAUF aka ZANSHIN.
