REC-DISORDER: 4 solos on performing (with) recordings.
Das Projekt REC-DISORDER erforscht die Verwendung von aufgenommenen Klängen in
Live-Performances. Es sieht die Schaffung und Aufführung von vier Solostücken vor, die von
Peter Cusack, Hanna Hartman, Felicity Mangan und Matthias Koole komponiert und aufgeführt
werden. Das Projekt hinterfragt die Rolle des aufgenommenen Klangs in Bezug auf die Körperlichkeit
der Klangquellen, die Geräte, die für ihre Umwandlung und Wiedergabe verantwortlich sind, und
die Interpreten, die ihn aufnehmen und aufführen. Jedes Solostück wird eine andere Perspektive auf den aufgezeichneten Ton als klangliches, subjektives, informatives und fantasievolles Werkzeug in einer performativen Umgebung einnehmen. In Cusacks Ansatz bietet der Klang die Möglichkeit, andere, unbekannte Orte mit einer anderen Sensibilität als der visuellen und logozentrischen wahrzunehmen. Bei Hartman weicht die Abstraktion des Klangs der freien Assoziation unterschiedlichster Objekte. Bei Mangan werden die Aufnahmen in eine "quasi-bioakustische Musik" umgewandelt, bei der viel Wert auf die rhythmischen Qualitäten gelegt wird. Bei Koole verschmelzen die physische Präsenz und die
Performance des Künstlers mit der Räumlichkeit der Aufnahme. Mit diesen vier verschiedenen Ansätzen bietet das Projekt ein vielschichtiges Konzert mit verschiedenen sensiblen Herangehensweisen an aufgezeichnete Klänge in der Performance und reflektiert darüber, wie entkörperlichter und wiederverkörperter Klang und Performance uns dazu bringen können, Materialität anders wahrzunehmen.

environment. He initiated the “Favourite Sounds Project, which started in London and has since
taken place in Beijing, Prague, Manchester, Taranto, Hull, Berlin, Braunschweig. His project
‘Sounds from Dangerous Places’ (sonic journalism) has investigated the soundscapes of sites
of major environmental damage like the Caspian oil fields, the Chernobyl exclusion zone and the
Aral Sea, Central Asia, and asks the question, “What can be learnt about dangerous places by
listening to their sounds?”. He is a member of Crisap (Creative Research into Sounds Arts
Practice) at the University of the Arts, London and during 2011/12 was a guest of the DAAD
Berliner Künstlerprogramm. His current work – field recording, audio streaming, soundwalks,
