SOUNDSTONE

Stones,

matter beyond transformation,

as Eugen Drewermann says,

material in which sound lives,

unique sounds,

unparalled music,

perhaps, probably

primordial music

that changes depending on

where the stone came from.

The cello, tuned

in accord with the stone,

connects everything.

The stone, a metaphor for silence,

becomes sound; alive,

with spirit, matchless.

Konrad Götz has depicted the score.

We have been working together for several years

to make this music come alive, visibly and audibly.

His photographs make the score visible.

Wet fingers and hands,

make large, polished, cut blocks

vibrate,

while  water and stone percussion

add the rhythm.

The developed music

is weightless, beyond time,

with its own power and effect,

moving and uniting.

Using seismographic methods, Konrad Götz

makes these effects visible.
