Death by Landscape, a concert oscillates between a second night’s encounter, an hommage to Janet, a cadence out of time, une balade dans le bois, a melody sung in darkness, a sting removed by fiction, a waste of time, an act of archeography, a thank-you-dance, a dance to under-grow. Falling through the fields, thanks and at the cost of semantic fields, fields of vision, fields of studies, wheat fields, oil fields, magnetic field, agricultural field, agricultural field laborers, battlefield. Death by Landscape leaves an iridescent trail of mourning lotion in the room that opens gaps in the sound, inserts air and dances there: I want to publish words in your knee, under your left patella. The music, organised in a three-parts composition for electro-acoustically prepared piano and modified pressure-chamber speakers, plays under the title Mother Goose – an homage to Maurice Ravel’s eponymous piece as well as to the popular computer game from the 1980s. “There are no backgrounds in any of these [tableaux], no vistas; only a great deal of foreground that goes back and back, endlessly, involving you in its twists and turns of [curtains and dances and films and sounds].” almost writes Margaret Atwood. Heart drops, an acceleration of a breath: there is a piano tune between the palm of my hand and the floor.
