[ISEA95] Artist Statement: Jens Hedman & Erik Mikael Karlsson— Anchoring/Arrows

Artist Statement

Concert

Anchorings/Arrows is built up of sounds from a number of different acoustic instruments, computer-processed and then digitally mixed. We tried out a particular acoustic idea, that of a continually varying acoustic space where no sound stays at any fixed point. The work may be seen as a tribute to music, anchored in music history, but also pointing towards the wonderfully mysterious and mythical future. This work received a honorary mention at Prix Ars Electronica ’93.
