The sound composition and performance Hidden Materia is inspired by and
conceived as an ongoing journey of the raw, liquid, vivid force of
terrestrial magma carrying the unparallelled and hidden amount of energy
and threat. Before coming to rest on the earth’s surface, before its
liberation and emergence from the core below, it has to go through
several processes of transformation, where all three stages of matter
collide and interact in an apocalyptic chemical synthesis. The last
phase in the subsequent stabilization and formation of solid matter on
earth is realized through unpredictable and unexpected eruptions,
explosions and dispersion of gases, molten metal, water, air, steam.
Brane Zorman works with ready-made images, video clips and databases
from the web and private collections. Out of the photos and recorded
data he creates and manipulates live and pre-recorded sound sculptures
and sequences that relate to colors, light intensity, contrast and
shapes of the treated visual materials. He is transforming a visual
representation of lava eruptions and flows (lines, points, cracks) to a
sequencer score on a photo canvas using NI Reaktor, MetaSynth 5, Live 9
and M4L devices.
