Residues
2025

for Klavierautomat and live electronics

Instruments contain elements whose functions are purely technical in nature and were not originally intended to be playable. At the same time, residues from their development processes can be found, pointing to challenges in the instrument’s functional design. These remnants may stem from interactive or technical decisions and can be activated by human, machinic, and computational inputs. A limited selection of these residues is highlighted, revealing their potential within the compositional context.
