Oracles

The composition utilises the performance space itself as a sound-shaping element: the spatially dispersed ensemble allows the audience to experience resonances, timbres and acoustic relationships within the church interior first-hand.

Originally commissioned for Bellelay Abbey, the work has now been specially adapted for the acoustics of St Thomas’s Church in Berlin. The result is a site-specific reinterpretation that actively integrates the space into the musical performance.
