Movements by Mara Schwerdtfeger
Using the French philosopher and sociologist Lefebvre’s Rhythmanalysis theory, Movements imitates the “interminable rhythm[s]” of slowness and growth within a string quartet structure. Through parts that carry a sense of disarray and separation from each other, awareness and “disturbed coordination” is formed in both the performer and listener. The players keep time with their individual breaths, causing repeated sequences to interplay as different patterns within each iteration. The group may not necessarily play together in the traditional sense but interaction and body rhythms synchronise them. Therefore, the composition is constantly shifting with the sequences becoming both cyclical and linear as frequency and measure are manipulated.
