Pavilion for Spiders
Venice 2019

A very special sound tour took place at the Venice Biennale 2019; Boštjan Perovšek’s latest composition to date Pavilion for Spiders was premiered at Tomás Saraceno's Spider/Web Pavilion 7. The composition functions as an open sound objects structure, which can be performed in different ways; either as a fixed, recorded composition based on a sound objects score defined as the final score, or as live performance, which can be executed differently every time. This is possible, because only individual sound objects in Ableton Live Session View and different “frequency slices” prepared in iZotope Iris 2 are fixed, and they can be triggered individually using a MIDI interface of your choice.

The main material is comprised of sounds made by spiders and insects, all originally recorded as vibrational signals. These are then combined with purely electronic sounds, whose sound structure, for example in rhythm, or pitch is similar to insect and spider noises. Next, the original sounds of nature are electro-acoustically transformed and combined as a sort of “live electronics” with urban and industrial sounds. All this combines to form a giant web of communication between humans and the rest of nature. The composition can be performed either as a single concert of circa 50 minutes, or divided into several short performances of between 15 to 20 minutes each.

The composition was inspired by the conceptual idea of Tomás Saraceno's Spider/Web Pavilion 7 at the Venice Biennale 2019, which was as follows:
“We are particularly interested in articulating in an interdisciplinary way concepts which revolve around relationships between organisms in the ecosphere: they could be commensal (when species are closely associated and at least one benefits from the other), symbiotic (association is mutually beneficial) and parasitic (the parasite gains from the relation meanwhile the host suffers).”

This recording is the result of the greatly inspiring atmosphere of Tomás Saraceno's Spider/Web Pavilion 7. It was originally performed in 2 sets; Pavilion for Spiders Sound Tour, Part-1, and Pavilion for Spiders Sound Tour, Part-2.

Enjoy the special sound tour!
