Flute breath and an augmented double-bass bow initiate a dialogue between two contrasting instrumental bodies, extending non-invasive augmentation through discreet, performer-controlled electronics.

Programme Note

Emergence of Speakings extends the Organic Augmented Instruments research to flute and double bass. Wind excitation and bowed-string excitation are treated as two distinct ways of making an instrument “speak”, connected through discreet and reversible electronics rather than an external electronic layer.

The augmented double-bass bow develops a principle first tested with the cello in Solar Winds. Breath, bow pressure, vibration and projected resonance circulate between the performers, creating a dialogue in which acoustic gesture and electronic activation remain physically legible and directly controlled.
