Shekhinah – Szymon Golec

Inspiration came from the mystical conception of Divine Presence in Judaism and Kabbalah. Narration is bulid upon how to bring it around and what conditions are needed to feel Divine Presence, which is a loving and feminine force. It is a deeply personal tale of my process of reembracing my Jewish heritage. In the piece there are combined: ancient scales of Jewish liturgy in different varieties, microtonal elements, selected extended techniques and deconstructive strategies. Electroacoustic area of Fixed Media is constructed on the base of different sound synthesis methods and modified recordings of instruments, objects and my voice.
