Creating Reality

Siegfried Koepf 2003

Program note

Creating Reality is the song of 32 birds, recorded in their natural environment, filtered and amplified by 36 parallel processing parametric equalizers.

The frequencies of the equalizers form a non-tempered symmetrical 36-tone tuning system with a range of five octaves.

Creating Reality was originally composed as a part of a audio-video installation of the same name with Jungwha Jung, commissioned by the Marronnier Art Center, Seoul, South Korea.
