DISCOUNT
Concept
The graphical score ‘DISCOUNT’ (2017-2018) is a collage across 30 pages, compiled from the advertising brochures of discount supermarkets, respectively food items. The score, realized on paper with glue, organizes these cut out objects along a strict time grid, with additional columns for the assignment of voices.
DISCOUNT is usually played as an animated score from scans of the originals, following the red play-head:
Binaural Recording
Since 2017, DISCOUNT has been performed by various musicians and ensembles. For a performance at the ICMC 2018, a mixed approach was presented. 8 modular synthesizer voices from previous performances of the EOC were played back from tape. Four additional voices were added live by Ensemble Phase: Nayeong Park (Gayaguem), Kilyong Chae (Daegum), Jeonghyeon Joo (Haegum), Inhyuk Hawng (Korean Perc)). These sources were then mixed and spatialized in real time.
