stereo piece for live diffusion
2026





L1-Fold 1304  










L1-fold is a series of pieces, variations on a limited selection of frequencies and sounds, begun in 2025 as an extension of an earlier track. The intention is an ex- pression of materiality through narrow-band frequency blocks and the impact of low-frequency components, set against amplified noises of recorded acoustics. The limited presence of the latter marks my interest in bringing the contrast of different material qualities forward, and in finding how their diversity might alter or destabilise the circuits of attention in the listening flow.

                                       sound as a material substance.
                                                    probing for ear response; structural possibilities of space and the corresponding conditioning of sonic physicality.



The series of works  is a result of an ongoing research on spatial-material linkages in sound. The limited frequency bands of the L-fold compositions unfold various psychoacosutic phenomena, often creating  physical and tactile experiences. Superimposed with modulations caused by reflective surfaces of the space the piece is played in, L1-fold develops as situated experiences, born from acoustic tests with various sound systems from stereo to 40+ loudspeakers. 



The first half of 2026 brought two performances. L1-fold 13032702 was diffused on the GRM Acousmonium in March 2026, transferring the composed spatial-material instances into the acoustic environment of a concert hall through 44 + loudspeakers of differing timbral quality; live diffusion as a technique for working with spatiality was a focal point of the  listening there. The performance that followed - at Patch Studio in April 2026 - built on a non-fixed temporal structure: narrow-band material mixed with the real-time transmission of a microphone placed outside the space. The performance was diffused manually over three loudspeakers on the ground and an elevated PA. Rough cuts between the speakers unfold a dynamic shifting of spatial qualities, while later smooth transitions and the manual movement of a 15-inch driver bring rich modulations of the tone interacting with the acoustics.
