Aftertaste

... and so it started taking form. The objects in space, the cables a mess. I dared to turn the switch on and it lived. Sunday evening the switch was off and would never be on again. The Wunderkammer was born, lived and died like a dragonfly. Choroechoic composition is real and now i intend to concentrate my efforts in realizing more concepts by using and developing this method of composition. About the exhibition I will just say that the feedback was positive. But who can you trust in being honest? Everyone wants to be polite. But not children. I was positively surprised by the reactions of two kids that entered the Cabinet. Both said that this exhibit was their favorite. I don't know and I don't care why. Probably because children get excited when their perception is challenged. a little girl around 7 years old asked me. "Can I go in there?" I replied "of course you can, but under one condition; you have to tell me what you hear" I was surprised when she started running from the one speaker to the other saying... "Water, wind, wood, glass..." It was an incredible experience for me to see my work through the eyes or better the ears of a little girl. I can not hide I was moved. There was no water, wind or wood in the wunderkammer, but this does not matter. The important thing was that for her, there were. Her imagination was stimulated and the smile on her face meant to me more than the praise of the most renowned sound artist. Another little boy at about 3 years old entered. The question the same; "What do you hear?" the reply came through the mouth of his mother as he was a bit too young and shy to speak to me... "Monsters and Robots!!!" What an incredible response. For me The Sound cabinet of curiosities was successful. If it sounds like monsters and robots, then definitely it sounded strange. I would like to thank everybody that contributed in any way for the realization of this project. But even more...Thank you little ones...
