Anhalten [Pausing]

The piece Pausing for two flutes, electronic tape and video by Leonie Strecker explores the question how continuous consciousness can be rendered experienceable in a musical and abstract manner.

Can I stop thinking? Can I understand “nothingness”? How do impulses in my thoughts link up? A piece searching for a path that leads ever further. With Sophia Aretz (flute) and Youna Choi (flute).

Pausing was an exam project for the Visual Music major at the Institute of Music and Media of the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf. The project was supervised by Prof. Dr. Heike Sperling and Marcus Schmickler.
