Statement

An amplified score and performance installation in memoriam John Cage (1912-1992). Double Helix is the fractal partner piece to KIOSK, an earlier graphic tower. A soloist, duo or quartet weaves helical patterns from two and three-dimensional notation and combines them with feedback loops generated by the amplified score, ending up inside of an eventual performance paradox.

Reviews

The Dutch journalist Rene van Peer described the amplified graphic score as "...a kind of library of interesting sounds and notational resourses which the performer accesses according to his fancy and curiosity." (Geldlander Dagblad)
