[ISEA95] Artist Statement: Martin Daske — Madances 1-7

Artist Statement

This is a radiophonic work, the third part of a trilogy. Seven dances in lines and colours are transformed into musical scores. Each sequence is composed of numerous sounds determined by the segment’s position in the score. The one hundred and thirty-seven sounds are derived from diverse sources. The final work exists in German and French language versions for stereo radio as well as an eight-track version for public performance on CD accompanied by slide projections.

  • Martin Daske, Germany. Born in Berlin in 1962, he studied composition in the United States with C. Wolff, in Cracove, and in Salzburg with B. Schaeffer. He lives and works as an author, composer and producer in Berlin and Belgium.
