Stereo recording of audiovisual installation by Jockel Liess.
"‘Ephemeral’ is an exploration of momentary music. It is an abstract current of pitch, timbre, texture and pulse, propelled by the passing of time. Both fleeting and eternal, the ebbing and swelling of its flow are an interwoven succession of transient events. Like an ever-renewing stream, it feels its path through its aesthetic terrain with the unpredictability of a living organism. In this search for its sound, its generative algorithm is boundary as well as behaviour. The base pitch of the entire arrangement, intervals and overtones, has the ability to shift. Its rising and falling thus creates fleeting layers of turbulence and small rivulets of dissonance within the otherwise harmonic flow of music."
