F.5 & In Consideration of the Earth

Vinko Globokar's F.5 consists of a rhythmic combination of vocal sounds (r, f, sch, h, s) and body strokes, alternating with a combination of body scratching and various vocal sounds (kiss, tongue snapping, throat constriction during inhalation, 'ts' during inhalation and tongue retraction stuck to palate).
Pauline Oliveros' In Consideration of the Earth invites us to listen in all directions, then to turn towards each cardinal point (and towards the 'centre') and play while "interacting with sounds perceived or imagined".

The round shape of the small square behind the KUG's main building (in Meranpark, between Brandohgasse, MUMUTH and Palais Meran) was used as a two-dimensional representation of the Earth. I performed Globokar's F.5 5 times, each time facing one of the four cardinal points plus the 'centre', while interacting with the (real or imagined) sounds coming from each direction.

This fragment was recorded in Meranpark, Graz, on 28/03/2024.
