Wrong Answers to Robert B's Wrong Question
Für Donnerblech
This piece is conceived as an extremely reduced étude on reflections. The metal sheet is treated as a an
empty surface on which different performing gestures and sound materials are imprinted, reflected . The
sheet functions as a screen that responds to both the movement of the gesture and the vibration generated
by different beaters and objects. The sheet itself often becomes the sole object of performance, being
warped and curved in order to explore the identity and the limits of its physical and sounding physiognomy.
