TREE / study - II , "Swinging"                                          video/
    6.5 min / 2006
for 6 pianos and 6 audio channels


The composition ‘tree / study II’ is a musical reflection on the actual movement of the branches of a tree in space and time. The "swinging" motion is depicted in the piano motives and melodies, and  complemented by the spatial sound distribution of a 6 stereo channel speaker system. While observing a seemingly natural synchronicity between the movement of the branches (video) and the "swinging" sounds of the piano, after some time the illusion arises that the moving branches are actually triggering the sound.
