  Gerhard Lock: “Sounds derived from free web-based text-to-speech software, improvized with Soundplant 47 and finally composed using a retrograde-palindrome principle. This piece is part of a performance coming out in September 2021 based on serendipity, error and interfere ideas. Created using materials developed with my (international) students of the BFM IKUMUMU course “Video, performance, sound and media art” in autumn 2020. Further parts will be issued during August 2021.
  
  Composed in the framework of my Estonian Cultural Endowment Fund creative research grant 2020/21 on the topic of “Serendipity/Error/Interfere (SEI)” that I perceived as lecturer of musicology and multimedia at Tallinn University (TLU) Baltic Film, Media and Arts School (BFM). Since 2020 I am member of the Serendipity Society.

• At the Moonrain Planet I & II [Kuuvihmaplaneedil I & II]

  […] It was even not easy to find a proper subtitle [for these pieces]: „experimental“ referes to the improvisational character and the including of microphones as active participants, „acousmatic“ referes to the way how it should be listened to: with closed eyes or in a dark room without any visual distraction; „sound performance“ underlines, that it is neither pure soundscape nor simple (art, action) performance. They are pieces which are located between all kind of genres, using elements and tools of (experimental, electronic and concrete) music, improvisation, and sound art as well as dance, action performance (using found objects: stones, bottles, metal, fabric and other natural material like water and straw), soundscape and sound walk composition. Beside acousmatic listening condition they have intentionelly inherented strongly performative elements related to bodily experienced movement and evoke clear assciations to objects recorded, even while being manipulated: multiplicated and reversed (I), multiplicated and delayed (II). Both are highly embodied sound performances which engage also the listener very bodily (especially the culminative middle part of piece II). They include clearly musical elements (singing – which has also an important role in the overal formal structure of both pieces) but also strange and virtual sounds perceived as unreal (reversed sound) and altering both the acoustic and the imaginative sonic space. While performing and recording the aspect of listening to each other’s activity and communication was as important as in traditional music or dance performance. Even live-performative elements […] (live sound walk) can be detected because the authors used earphones monitoring their action in realtime. The pieces depend on relatively clear environmental conditions: industrial space with found objects, several material and a extensive reverb.

• Something Is Different (II) [Miski on teistmoodi (II)]

  „Something is different II“ (2007) is the concert phonogram version of the original installation music „Something is different I“ (2006, duration 30 min) for Taavi Kolk's metal and houshold materials reworking artificial snails and insect sculptures as part of the group exhibition „The Swan in Town“ (Tallinn, City gallery 2006). The concert version was arranged during a workshop conducted by Jean Baptiste Favory at the Electronic Music Studio of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and first performed at the Autumn Festival of EAMT in 2007 using a 16-speakers Acousmonium to distribute the high, middle and low frequencies into the room and around the audience similarly an orchestra would achieve positioning its instrumentalists in different places around the room and the listeners. The music starts with sounds which assumingly cause rather bewilderment about their nature, source and intent, but the listener will be led to an astonishing and rich world of sounds which evokes fantastic pictures, lights, colours, smells, spaces, landscape, and creatures similar to those ferly snails and insects, which (under dimmed greenish-silver light) where the inspiration for and for which the original exhibition music was created as vivifying sound environment.

• White Elk [Valge põder]

  White elk is a mystical albino specimen that lives in the forests of the Nordic countries, but is rarely found. In the Fine5 Dance Theater production, the white elk, as a metaphorical symbol, signifies a conflicting plateau of an urbanized person and his inner nature / animal, which manifests itself in the confusion of the humanistic and animistic side, in escape attempts and in search of balance. The production and its live-electronic soundscape have been specially created for the courtyard of the KUMU Art Museum. If the dancers' activities are visible, the soundscape can only be heard in the headphones through the SilentDisco sound system (headphones available on site). The activities taking place in the courtyard of KUMU can be interpreted with the minds and hearts of the viewer, referring to the fragile relationship between man and the natural environment today.
  
  Sound artists: the soundscape is created in collaboration with Belgian-Spanish electronic music sound artist Erich Weiss, German-Estonian sound artists Hans Gunter Lock and Gerhard Lock through interactive sounds and live electronic solutions from the KUMU environment on site.

  (1) Music fragments: Interkozmosz (notyet, fakir hobby 2006/Hungary), bea-piaia (Naterijeka, Muschraum/Sander Saarmets Ulmeplaadid 2005/Estonia), Must orav (Tsaca Tsap, Pastacas/Ramo Teder Kohvirecords 2002-2004/Estonia), The Wilhelm Scream (James Blake, YouTube jamesblakeproduction 2011/UK); (2) piano improvisations Gerhard Lock; choreographical main idea: Kaspar Aus, G. Lock, choregraphy: dancers; (3) recordings of workshop activity in Tahkuna Lighthouse
  
  The intention of this performance was to enable inspirations in both directions: dance by music and vice versa. The formal framework is strictly structured in duration and alternating section of precomposed/original musical pieces chosen by the dancers themselves and improvisational dance sections. Each of the dancers have their „sound room“ and their „space room“, later there are also several playing rules concerning interaction. The performance starts with a recording of performative action during the workshop in the lighthouse (using several instruments like kanteles and drums, and the acoustics of the lighthouse while moving around there both with instruments and the microphone). Because the stage is black the listening situation is acousmatic but the sound is unmanipulated field recording of a musical improvisational performance in an architectural environment. During the first part each dancer introduces her „sound and space room“ (followed by a section where piano improvisations ideally are inspired by the dance. After a short intermezzo again using sound recording from the lighthouse workshop, the musical formal structure of the first part remains unchanged, but now the dancers can apply for their choreography several rules of communicating, interacting, imitating etc. while moving in space. The live-performative elements of both the musical improvisations on the piano and the bodily movement (dance) are not prestructured, they relie on the creative intuition, experience and creativity improvisational and listening skills of the performers. Part of the concept of this performance is according to CPME (Abrahams 2005) the involvement of prekowledge and own musical experience of the participants which garantuees successful learning as well as creative process.
