CelloHouse

Picture
The CelloHouse project is an exploration of dynamic indoor architectural spaces, using the sound of the cello to define and reflect the visual experiences. Audiences follow me as I move from room to room, creating layers of musical interpretation which affect the perception of space. It is an artwork built from the Classical concept of the castle of memory: each virtual room in one's mind contains a token to be remembered; the individual, attempting to recall stored events, perambulates virtually through the imaginary castle, opening each door to retrieve the memory stored therein. I literally embody this experience with the cello, using each space to trigger a musical texture that I placed there during development of the composition.

CelloHouse was originally developed for the 58-room Old School in Slavonice, Czech Republic, home of the Centre for the Future, and a new version is presented there every year.

Another performance was mounted at the dramatic Power House in Telluride, CO, 11,500 feet above sea level, at the top of Bridal Veil Falls, tallest waterfall in Colorado.
Longer versions of CelloHouse Old School 2009:
Hlavním hostem týdenního semináře na téma nové hudby a improvizace vedeného Hugh Livingstonem bude skupina violoncellistů a mediálních umělců Centropa, která na závěr semináře vystoupí v Institutu Slavonice, sídle Centra pro budoucnost. Všechny místnosti i zahrady objektu budou zahalené do multikanálového zvukového prostředí, pomocí něhož budou umělci zkoumat nejrůznější aspekty zvuku violoncella. V závěrečném, celodenním představení budou hudebníci proplouvat místnostmi, někdy ve skupinách, jindy sólo, a posluchači budou moci jen naslouchat a vnímat akustické odlišnosti jednotlivých prostor.
