In my improvised solo drone trombone
performances I make use of extended playing techniques such as split
tones and multiphonics in combination with electroacoustic elements.
This half hour long performance evokes different imageries. At first, a
shepherd's horn reverberates in the Alps. Standing with his back to the
rising sun, the shepherd warns others of an impending storm. In other
moments, a freighter ship, illuminated by a lighthouse, emerges from
dense fog, its signal horn resounds across the sea. At times, echoes of
alarm sirens haunt through a desolate landscape, though there is no one
left to be warned.

While oscillating between these sonic landscapes, this performance evokes feelings of dread, doom and inescapability accompanied by a shimmer of serenity. With this constantly evolving work I interpret and address how symbolic anthropogenic communicative sounds extend outward and become their own object within a spatial environmental context.
