Before the last tone of the orchestra trails off, the audience cannot help but cough its soul out. Yearning for musical imperfection? Part of the musical composition? Yearning to be heart oneself?
What usually is unwanted and cut out in audio production, becomes the protagonist here. Disturbing noises like smacking one's lips and coughing develop a characteristic rhythm that accelerates despite resistance, indignation, and attempts to quiet the unwanted. Disturbing human noises gain momentum and develop their own musicality. But in the end the proper program has to continue. The restistant rhythm trails off.
La Pesch does radio, acoustic narratives, sound and voice art.
She chooses a subjective approach, sets in scene encounters and creates contact points in dialogue. She relies on techniques of collage and a structure that reflects the core message. Her focus are boundaries, transcending and blurring them, the confrontation and meeting of different horizons of experience in a given environment.
