PROLOGUE
In resistance to a world whose linguistic, political and rational contents have been used up, critical producers perform a Deep Sound Opera during STWST48x8 DEEP and over two nights. It is made up of different acts that are connected/unconnected to form a larger whole. Authors, Artists und Sound artists work with language, text and discourse in the broadest sense. Performers and autonomous initiatives act from the experience and practice of DIY, DIWO and DIT. With the different materialities of art, language and sound, the aim is TRANSFORMATION: With self-referential spirals of knowledge, with linguistic meta-levels, with content beyond text, with transferred meaning and rhythm, with lowered frequencies of knowledge, with breath that has passed through the body, with transformed experience, with emotion and sensuality, with the SPACE BEHIND THE EYES and with the FORCE BETWEEN THINKING AND FEELING, the rational approaches of text, reflection, the free form of text cascades as well as the irrationality of sound surfaces are confronted. In the depths there are no words left. This is where we mine, this is where meaning lies, this is where the cables of language lie in chaos and mess. Connected or disconnected, an open sound format emerges to which one can perhaps still DANCE.
THE LIB
In The Lib the lib(retto) is transformed and deformed into Deep Sound Opera, here the text of the world is destroyed. In the STWST workshop, before it goes up to the Deep Sound Opera nights, are on display in a setting of absence: No-tech items like chalk, glasses, mirrors, instruments, low-tech analog gear, several screens, cameras and STWST‘s old sound system, switches, cables, digital devices, miscellaneous. Here all these things are connected in a strange way, here objects do their own thing. Traces of a writing act that happened long before run in loops: the chalk has become the text that was written with it. In the water glass, meaning transcends to sound. Cameras are pointed at the mirror onto which words are projected, they seem accelerated. The mirror becomes a reflection, searching for the lost eye. Where is the source? Disconnected No Discourse. Content-sensory Deepdive. The Lib is the lib(retto) to the world, annihilated, released, feral.
THE STAGE: KREISHELL
The Kreishell installation, an analogue drum machine in the STWST main venue, becomes an act in its own right at some at Saturday Night, first Act, but is also a room-filling stage for the other acts on Deep Sound Opera nights. Kreishell remains an abstraction of a minimised stage area on Friday night, charging up with the first acts on Friday to be subsequently set up for Saturday night. going into operation itself in a DIY, DIT and DIWO circus, and expanding with more acts throughout the night. In a DIY, DIT and DIWO circus, it goes into operation on Saturday, is first played by Apephonie Production itself to be followed by more acts through the night.
Kreishell itself is a declaration of love for gyroscopy! A DIY-LOW TECH-SPEKTAKEL! A working device of a special kind. Long live the circuits!
DON‘T WASTE ENERGY!!!
