Work description

Lokale Orbits started as a sequence of pieces for solo instrument and tape, whereby sounds, played by the musicians concerned, were recorded for further processing.
In Duo 3, instrumental parts and electronics are very reduced, only two from a multitude of possible initial sounds remained, their processings are varied parametrically. A fundamental tone relation is interweaving the different layers. Quartertone deviations within a pentatonic framework – the zither is tuned accordingly – play a central role.
