electroacoustic gamelanesc organism
– is an attempt of dissolving our egos, trying to create an open, free and ever-changing organism, made up of various individuals, their interdisciplinary talents and limitations.
We are aware of therapeutical benefits of simply playing with others.
In an autodidact manner we are collectively observing ourselves inside the organism, while having in mind Freud’s psychic three-instance-model (here practically applied to our collective):
ID: Individual discharge provoked by primal drives, pleasure principle in a collective environment.
Super EGO: Morality driving us to labour in learning and applying electroacoustic and specifically gamelanesc rules and roles inside the organism.
EGO: Floating between consciousness of the external world and dreamy unconscious and finally dissolving inside the organism.
EGO is moderating between ID and Super EGO and at the same time opening a greater space having to include both ID and Super EGO.
Here are some improvisations with the Gong Kebyar Gamelan of Museo de la Música de Barcelona.
Recorded in a session for the soundtrack of “Sweepers Of The Realms“ from Florian Kunert:
In this impro Anna, Moritz, Kübra, Stefan and Heinzel played.
