To hear on Sunday 14, 21, 28* January and 4 February 2018, 2pm - 9pm:
a Cymatic Environment
(2017-2018, Premiere)
von Anna Stereopoulou
* On January 28th, 7:00 pm, Anna Stereopoulou will be present at 'ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen' and will offer a live]SYN[thesis of the work – a combination of elements of Live Concert /Live Synthesis – Sound Installation – Lecture. Duration: 55'. The live act concept of ohrenhoch is named 'Handbag Electronics': the equipment must fit into a handbag size 30 x 30 x 10 cm.
«Sound is Ariadne's helping thread;
it is the map of (Mother) Nature, revealing the structure and function of our society.»
«SYN» by Athens-based composer Anna Stereopoulou is described by the artist as a Cymatic Environment©. It is based on the Unity of Different genres, presentation forms and Art-and-Science subjects, and forms a wider and more universal 'soma' of the Whole.
The recent invitation of its presentation at the 'ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen' Sound Gallery (Berlin Premiere, January-February 2018) gives the sparkle to create a special and new version of its concept; the understanding of our Society, through History and through (Human) Nature & Body.
More specifically, the work functions as a 'poetic' simulation of two themes presented in parallel;
a. the structure and function of the Human Ear & the Balance of Body
(composer's theme-based project / album, titled «electron») | Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy
-and-
b. the structure of the Minoan Palace and Culture (Crete, Greece) | History, Architecture, Society
In other words, an acousmatic walk into a continuous Labyrinth, consisting of multiple layers and elements, as reflected in a repetitive and moving Core, which is finally met and reformed by its carrier; spectator oneself. «A mind game that aims to reach the moment you discover the key within your own hand..!»
«Be clever, Ariadne!...
You have little ears; you have my ears:
Put a clever word in them! —
Must one not first hate oneself, in order to love oneself?...
I am your labyrinth...» – Friedrich Nietzsche
from Ariadne's Lament ('Dionysus to Ariadne' excerpt),
«Dionysus-Dithyrambs», 1888
