Collaboration between Zeitschleife Verein and LaKT Ensemble

Performed June 7, 2023

This project was conceived based on the seed idea of “garden”, with growth being a primary component. The final work consists of four pieces for various constellations of the ensemble and electronics. The performance guides the audience through the space in the similar way that a garden contains paths and enclosures, with musical pieces existing in both fixed spaces as well as while on the move. The complete work represents the cyclical nature of growth, beginning in its initial stages, progressing through maturity and deterioration, and finally being reborn. We chose to have this work performed in the Bruseum in Graz because it had many rooms and could provide an experience for the audience that was not limited to sitting in a singular space and listening; rather, they were allowed and even encouraged to explore the performance space during the concert.
