Extrémités lointaines
Hans Tutschku (DE)
Distinction Prix Ars Electronica 1998 "Computermusik"
For his piece "Extremités Lointaines", Hans Tutschku uses the sounds of big cities in Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand, as well as church and temple music and the music of singing kids. extrémités lointaines uses recordings I made during a four week concert tour in Asia in summer 1997. In Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand I recorded the sounds of the big cities, church and temple music as well as singing kids. In the studio all the sounds were treated primarily with real-time granular synthesis. Filters and cross synthesis were applied to the spectrum of sounds to make continuous changes between different sources. The piece is structured in 15 parts, describing different places and atmospheres. For many years I have been seeking an integration of vocal and instrumental sounds in my electroacoustic compositions.
