Recording

The piece consists of two parts: a monologue that sees the sound of the trumpet alone as the protagonist, and that evolves into a real dialogue with oneself and one’s own self represented by electronics. The Simplicity of a monologue lies in the interlocutor: himself. At the same time, the Complexity coexists in talking to oneself. The use of electronics, the transformation of a trumpet into a human voice and vice versa with all intermediate spectral stages produce a no man’s land that is both and neither. There are many ways in which the transformation of one thing into another can generate an “betweenness” capable of obscuring the rigid and forced convention: “You are Jill, I am Jack”. I can transform you into you, just as you can suddenly turn me into me.
