Unbox is a series of pieces based on a set of rules that define the interaction between two or three groups of instruments. The aim of these pieces is to show the freedom possible within the boundaries of the rules, to encourage inspiration by having rules to bend and challenge, with a wealth of different atmospheres that can be achieved.
This series of solo works uses transducers to transfer the sound of a solo instrument to another body. Just as the material of a canvas influences the texture of the colour used to paint, the sounds take on new qualities when transposed onto an instrument different from the source.
In NOT FOUND I was both composer and guitarist. It was a collaborative project in which the members of Kollektiv Unruhe jointly composed the four sections of this 90-minute work, which explores the successes and failures of communication.
