about

SZULGIT/WABIK
Testing is an improvisation that was recorded during the creation of a spatial and sound Popolytope, brought into being as part of the concert: MM#58 Iannis Xenakis – inspirations in sound and space (13.12.2017) at CK Zamek in Poznan.
The structure, sound and lighting of the installation precisely referenced the audiovisual shows of the composer/architects Polytope de Montreal and Polytope de Cluny. However, the spatial creation was not one of the layers but fulfilled the function of an instrument, constructed from 13 steel wires/strings 12-16 m in length, out of which sound was elicited using a bow.
Three amplified strings were used in the concert, to each of which a resonator with a contact microphone was attached. The crux of the installation was a reversal of the formulaic proportions of instrumentalist to instrument. The audience and the musicians both were in a sense inside the instrument's spatial form, perceiving it rather in the context of objects at the borderline between architecture and sculpture.
Fryderyk Szulgit and I were attempting to test the sound of one string using guitar effects; in the end, we chose instead to use a more authentic, albeit amplified, sound. The material that emerged from the project inspired us to continue working in the same direction as what we recorded on 11 December 2017.

Axis Cactus Records Poznań, Poland

Axis Cactus Records record label that publishes music from the periphery and interstices of musical genres as well as at the boundary between music and non-music. We invite listeners to share our psychedelic offering at communion in a shamanistic dance around the prickly pear.
