Content:
Can the string quartet, the emblematic formation of classical music, change through its use of advanced technologies or, on the contrary, basic techniques that change the physical nature of the instruments? The American composer Ashley Fure imagines an unexpected augmented instrument: stethoscopes that move along the surface of the instrument’s body, animating an inanimate object. Searching for "electric blood, digital breathing, of a bestial future in the very heart of the tradition of the string quartet…" Mauro Lanza controls transducers applied to instruments and explores obsolescent technologies, like the modulation used for television and radio. The art of codified misappropriation as a style.
