Program notes

Situations is an ongoing collaboration between Florentin Ginot (double bass) and me (live-electronics & composition). After two previous iterations of this project (the first one with Ensemble MusikFabrik & Florentin Ginot, the second one as a duo with Florentin Ginot), we now recorded a video (recorded and edited by Janet Sinica) in a deserted swimming pool close to Köln. I then used recordings of improvisations Florentin and me recorded at a previous residence at Muse En Circuit (Alfortville, Paris), to compose a soundtrack to which JAnet would then edit the video material. The result is a 6-minute video that is shown as a video projection with headphones. This video was part of 3 more, similar videos, all featuring Florentin Ginot, with music by 4 different composers (also featured are Rebecca Saunders, Martin Smolka, Francisco Alvarado).
