Ravel Ravel, 2013

Two-channel HD video and 16-channel sound

Duration 20:45 min

The work is screened in an anechoic chamber designed to absorb sound. Two different interpretations of Ravel’s Left Hand Concerto for Piano and Orchestra are heard alongside one another. The respective tempos of each performance have been recomposed, so that both executions continuously shift in and out of unison, one evolving slightly more slowly than the other, first creating a slight echo, then a doubling with the notes heard twice, eventually catching up, only to shift away from one another once again.
