Horatio
Oratorio
a concert & sound installation by Recording Angels - Aleks
Kolkowski and Stephan Mathieu
July
11th & 12th, 2008
Horatio Oratorio is an exploration through the history of recorded
sound. The earliest recording and playback technologies and
rare mechanical - acoustic string instruments are combined with
vintage and state-of-the-art electronics. A magnificent array
of acoustic horns and custom-built loudspeakers project sound
from historic wax cylinder phonographs, gramophones and stroh
violins, layered and transformed by live digital sound processing.
