Janek Schaefer - Phoenix & Phaedra Holding Patterns

British composer and installation artist Janek Schaefer, The British Composer of the Year (Sonic Art 2008), Prix Ars Electronica winner (2004) etc. Phoenix and Phaedra is a live concert composition, performed by using an immersive sound system in combination with a short range radio transmitter, which broadcasts to a collection of small hand held radios given out to the audience. Performed out of sight at the back of the concert hall, the spectacle of the performer is removed, leaving a pure sonic-cinema experience. The composition weaves together foundsound textures, spatial sonorities, and the Shruti Box, an Indian drone instrument, which plays a central role with it's lulling and engulfing energies.
