The aural piece Fluxor beton is a digital trace of the performative field practice of OR poiesis; it is sonography in concrete space, places defined by concrete / beton, an hommage to the lost time as we knew it before digitalisation. The collection of acoustic haikus is primarily driven by the flow of water, steps in motion and words that listen to the lingering breath. Steps echo the surrounding surface, reverberate space, rhythm echoes mood, speech tangles with the whistling of the wind, words hang and float in the air.
Fluxor beton is based on acoustic exploration of concrete/beton and the sonority of the seasons of the year. The author explores the acoustic qualities of motion and space. Steps become instruments for sounding the environment, performative sound recordings are focused on suchness of things, moods and rhythm. The written word was once the model for speaking silence, but in these times, digital instruments for recording, storing and playing back sounds are the tools that produce deaf silence of the speaker.
For the formal aspect of this work in specific place, defined with concrete walls and it’s acoustics (it is a passage in urban environment) OR poiesis used format of an old Japanese literally form - HAIKU. She was interested into possibilities of transfiguring poetry format into sonic structure. Process was defined with minimalism and usage of evocative soundscapes and specific tactile sonifications.
The author practices chrono-spatial sound poetry – poetry sonor. Fluxor beton is the latest in a series of works based on the performative exploration of walking, speech, space and the modalities of flow (flux). Her work is based on listening (primarily physically in situ with the body and a pair of additional digital ears, and later on, processual listening) and focuses on the relationships between sound, human being and silence. Her sound works are all based on specific locations: Transluce, moonlight into porcelain cup / Aural memory, time vortex_flux / Sonopoetic paths Vienna / Berliner Luft, Sonopoetic paths Berlin / Walking Plänterwald / Ear in the garden of silence, side streets … Maribor / Silence, searched near the rivers / Japanese Gardens and Crossings: Paths and Their Sonic Realities.
