  Melting Sands (2024)
  For e-guitar and live-electronics

  Melting Sands explores sound as a sensuous and auratic focal point in composition, dealing with thresholds and tipping points in imaginary and physical spaces. The sonic textures are inspired by materials such as near-molten glass, non-Newtonian fluids, and thawing ice. These materials evoke fundamental cultural techniques of human development while simultaneously alluding to the threats posed by the Anthropocene.
  The exploration of space unfolds on multiple levels. Some sounds are triggered by visible gestures, while others are hardly or not at all perceptible visually. This creates a continuum between physically traceable and disembodied spectromorphologies, where space is not only seen but also felt and imagined.
  In the collaborative process, bodies, instruments, and controllers form a connected organism that interacts with unstable, hard-to-control, and easily shifting elements. The “imperfection” within this system becomes an expression of the collective instrument’s nature.
  Instrumentally, the tendencies of this electronics-integrated instrument—its instability, unpredictability, and “flaws” —take center stage. In this sense, spaces and different levels of tension and tipping points become part of the compositional vocabulary. — Micha Seidenberg / Samuel Toro Pérez
