Οικολογία (ecologia)- Christina Karpodini
composition for voice, plastic objects and live electronics
“Ecologia” is a piece dedicated, as the title describes, to ecology, it reflects on humans' improvident plastic waste and it creates an imaginary soundscape by sonifing the image of all land fields of earth bulging with plastics.
Using audio inputs as the main source of activating and processing prerecorded sounds, this composition aims to underline the responsibility of humans to the ecological crisis. At first, it creates a figurate source boned relation of humans and repercussions of his actions like the one we instantly perceive by listening to the prerecorded plastic sounds and voice.
Experiencing the piece, we perceive the vicious circle of plastic use. The performer as a human uses the plastic as an instrument to activate and sound processing. Specifically the sound of its own voice giving the message that his actions will go back to him eventually.
