Indigo_Transform

In early October 2008, swedish installation artist Fredrik Wretman wanted to use my Monolake piece Indigo for an installation. I liked the idea, but found it inappropriate to play back the same song again and again in a loop. I isolated elements from the original piece and transformed them into slowly evolving atmospheres to match with the pace of the installation.

During the installation the music is played back from three CD players: each of them containing a slightly different version of the soundscape, each with a different playing time and each fed to speakers located in different parts of the gallery. As a result, things never fully repeat, and the sound is slowly travelling through the space, filling the room like a perfume.

The recording here is a stereo mixdown of the initial state of the installation, with all three CDs would be started at the same time.
