Compositions for live generated electronic resonating body (audio-score) and acoustic instruments (interpretation)

Virus #2
Virus #3

It is a struggle and synthesis between two resonating bodies. Together they stay alive. Virus #1 is dedicated to individual instrument groups.

The live generated electronic resonating body is the host to which the sounds of the string players attach and adapt, they penetrate into it and use it for their replication. At first the body is immune, but during the course of the piece the body stops resisting, takes in the sounds of the string instruments, and allows the viruses to multiply freely.

Virus #1.1 mutation for wind quintet
Virus #1.2 mutation for piano
Virus #1.3 mutation for percussion solo

ANMARI MËTSA YABI WILI

lived out her visual works in all free experimental installation and digital directions as her first creative deeds, which fell into the background for years due to her pianistic activities. While still a student and afterwards, the focus was on studying contemporary scores, bringing them to the stage in a very short time and the next concert was already almost too soon to have learned the next score. There was only one way to break this routine: Her own creations. She relied on her intensive study of great personalities from the past to the present. The conceptual compositions of John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, James Tenney etc. also gave her the confidence she needed. She began to compose on the basis of her own visual works, which led to an interdisciplinary artistic activity, including architecture and graphics. To achieve an equal balance, she founded drivingsounds&arts in 2009. website
