In this residency i aim to explore my writing for an ensemble piece called Bakunawa. Trying out the possibilities of 10 pendules sounding together, experimenting with ring modulators and frequent analyzers on4 different toy pianos, (all slightly differently out of tune), to understand what sounds their natural overtones can produce. Experimenting with prepared celtic harp, adding electronic effects. Exploring combinations of different materials, textures and instrumentations.
Working out the technical part of how to amplify these different instruments, including some metal tubes and modified wok. Research into Asian ritual music (in form), minimal music (in duration) and ambient music (in space).
