Program notes:
„My very first memory is from my baptizing. I must have been about 2-3 years old. I clearly remember the large hand of the priest, the soft but bright light from above my left and the touch of the cold water, which made me cry. It took place in “St. Ivan Rilsky” Church in my neighborhood in my hometown of Plovdiv. The memory has popped in and out of my mind through all my life like a shadow. Lately, I have been experiencing the strange sensation of an immense difference and an immense likeness with that small-baptized baby. Somehow, this memory merges two distant moments in time, thus making them into a single small point.
For me music is the only other medium that could bring two moments into one. Therefore, I chose the musical sound to describe this peculiar sensation. In addition, to build and to rebuild my own inner temple through acoustical means – vibration, antiphonic textures, timbre; to write a map with ever-changing dimensions of a sound-space, that one can bathe his own soul in just for the beauty of the process.“

Lukas Tobiassen – Die ultimative Annularfusion des Exponats mit seinem Käfig (2014)
for ensemble and live electronics
performed by Ensemble CRUSH with Svea Schenkel (voice)
„A couple of years ago I sat in a contemporary music concert in an acoustically bad room where you could here a lot of the things going on outside: ambulance siren, squeaking car tires, rain, birds etc.
The interesting thing was that these otherwise disturbing sounds fitted extremely well into the music.
At some moments they even seemed to be prepared by the music or the music seemed to comment on them, for instance a siren outside followed by a glissando inside or vice versa.
Based on this experience I realised this piece (the title „The ultimate annular fusion: that of an exhibit and its cage“ is cited from „Infinte Jest“ by David Foster Wallace) for ensemble and live electronics with surround loudspeakers and additional loudspeakers under the seats and outside oft the concert room in the year 2014.
In the beginning I develop a very tense atmosphere with a fragile musical layer performed in a manner of being contemporary music virtuosity which gets more and more disturbed by increasingly obvious incidents such as musicians coughing, dropping something, a singer doing warm-up outside, mobile phone alarm etc. up to the unlikely event of a marching band outside.
All these things reflect in different kinds in the music, blurring the boundaries of outside and inside, music and non-music, resulting in the fusion of the ensemble with it’s ‚natural’ environment.“
