Work Overview
Sprechmaschinen is a work for solo trombone, sound / image diffusion and lighting. The performer is surrounded by the crackling sounds of early gramophone recordings, as if in the middle of an old film, the horn of the trombone responding to that of the other talking machine. Through the interaction of these 2 megaphones a temporal dialogue takes place, in which the visual presence of performer and instrument take on an important role.
