MAPLESS by Christina Ruf
Close to the wooden body, with bows in hand. Close to its sounds, vibrations and substance. Placing objects on or between the strings. Collecting the pure, squeaky and creaky ones.
Extract, cut, remove. Place the sounds in a different context, on a surface that the fingers touch. By touching the waveform and playing the particles, a decomposition and interweaving of sounds occur. New emerging sculptures portray both the exposure of their rawness and their electronically enhanced beauty.
An approximation in their simultaneous alienation.
