What is a real flute sound, what is a fake?
This piece is inspired by the current way of dealing with reality in politics …
90 years ago, the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte posed the question of the relationship between reality and its representation in his work „La trahison des images“ (“The Treachery of Images”) also known as “Ceci n’est pas une pipe”
Today, in the age of electronic media and the lightning-fast spread of news around the world, this question has even gained in importance …
Flute sounds recorded in real time are transposed, modulated, filtered, looped and mixed with the original sound.
