Schlünz, Annette - fliegen fliegen? (2003) (Playing Score)

‘Seeing changes the way you hear’ was the intellectual starting point of the piece – the real starting point being flies as objects disturbing the compositional work on the artists’ centre ‘Die Höge’ who, thus, became the objects of artistic attention. The three musicians stand in line at the edge of the stage, in 3 varying positions, changing the posture of their heads and their performing posture as well. A camera films maggots in a vessel which can be seen on a screen behind the musicians. The picture is accompanied by high irritating sounds, thus creating a tense atmosphere. Although the picture does not change, it is perceived differently at the end of the piece with its deep comforting sounds.
