Internal Destruction
About the artist:
Composer, sound artist and music collector, Saul Dahan is an expressive experimental musician. In his performances, he creates electronic music and marries it with liturgical texts and prayers, using a modular analog synthesizer and vocals that feed electricity to random circuits.
About the work:
“Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly” (Isaiah 6:2).
Here, Dahan examines the relationship formed while playing a generative system, which on the one hand works independently and on the other hand is subject to external influences, as the musician reacts to it and changes it in real time. In order to breathe life into it, while the system does depend on the one who built it, from the moment the permission was given – it exists as an independent entity, to which we must listen and respond.
