| [In Memoriam Christof Cargnelli, May 2013] The starting point for this new radiophonic work was Gál's inter-media installation solo (Košice) which has been presented in Košice in September 2012, in conjunction with Košice 2013 - European Capital of Culture. It is based on field recordings which were mainly collected in and around Košices main boulevard (Hlavná ulica), as well as on selected texts by the Slovakian writer Róbert Gál which the author recited himself in English, German and Slovakian. Gál's idiosyncratic, and often absurd-enigmatic texts open up associative fields which are interwoven with 'everyday' sound situations through Bernhard Gáls meticulous compositional arrangement, thus offering multi-dimensional interpretations and 'readings': Silence is quiet. Listening can be explored as a twisted sound portrait of the city of Košice, a journey into Róbert Gál's intellectual universe, a sound art radio story, 52 minutes of music, or a bit of everything - depending on the interest and bias of the listener. http://www.bernhardgal.com/silence-is-quiet-listening.html |
