Transit.Nihil

 

transit.nihil is a solo performance for oboe & live-electronic, a journey beyond any frozen narration, an acoustic ritual which transforms physical manifestations into abstract streams of information. The music itself, being based on improvisation structures creates the hybrid reality made of virtual images and vectors of its potential senses.

In its core, transit.nihil reflects the duality of the environment and the protagonist through the combination of electronic soundscapes with an acoustic instrument. Making use of live-processing technics and radical sound experiments, the oboe rids itself of its historical context and becomes a chimera composed from fragments of its past and future meanings, a traveller between endless virtual worlds.

” (…) the nonentity as a sound – an audio-chemical drug for the heightening of one’s awareness. “transit.nihil” – above all a legion of possible paths and trails. But where might they all lead to?  To the island of midgets? To the ghostly dead ends of the space stations? Or maybe to the dreamlike undergrounds and abyss of a city – who knows that for sure? But isn’t it exactly that which evokes the seductive intrigue – a trip into the unknown?”
