flute but not the master
stereo channel sound installation, 02:53 min, 2024

flute but not the master is built from recordings of salvaged metal tubes, blown through by mouth. The tubes’ varying tones form a high-intensity dissonant mass in which sounds erupt simultaneously, cut off abruptly or fade into slow dissipation, creating a concentrated release of energy.

Speakers are placed directly on the pipes, emphasizing the physical relation between sound and material. Created for the exhibition ‘Buss 501’, the work was activated every ten minutes, allowing each eruption to return as a recurring interruption within the space.
