synecdoche:praha

Performed as part of the Prague Quadrennial (PQ) 2011 Sound Kitchen event, this experimental piece is site-specific in both its thematic content - providing a heavily processed sound capsule of Prague - and its creation process - all sound recording, composition and realisation were done during the course of the quadrennial.

The performance itself involved live diffusion over 6 speakers. In addition to the precomposed piece, Patrick H. Lauke provided an additional live sound source from a Puredata patch, manipulated through a custom-built physical interface - both of which were, of course, also put together on location in Prague.
