music for the photo exhibition 'akträume' by markus reck:
'for the akträume project, stefan follows the idea of markus reck’s photographs and interprets it in a variety of different ways musically: for his so-called ‘body percussions’, which form the rhythmical and tonal basis of stefan’s compositions, he has recorded and digitally processed the sound of hands slapping human bodies. by use of formal elements such as repetition and variation of a musical theme as well as harmonic and rhythmical symmetry, a further connection to the photographs shown in this exhibition is established.'
(quoted from www.aktraeume.de)
composition and bodypercussion: stefan schmidt
