The word “unrisen” carries at least two meanings: not risen or not resurrected. Indeed, in this piece for a quintet of “smart” instruments, there is no divine vertigo—the voice of the electronics renounces any tone of omnipotence and instead engages with the human dimension.
The electronic sound is entirely diffused within the instruments themselves; loudspeakers no longer exist. The new lutherie and SmartInstruments challenge the way we listen to electronic sound. Technological innovation redefines its goals by embracing a new kind of interaction—more tactile and affective, more dynamic in its production.
There is a real fusion of bodies (transducers are embedded in the instruments) and of sound sources; the artificial merges with the human, endowing it with bionic vocal cords. Everything happens inside; everything is hidden. The instruments vibrate with the electronic sound injected into them, even as they produce their own.
This is a pre-contemporary (pre-technological) vision that questions matter independently of the technological or linguistic values that compose or denote it. Its texture is hybrid and aerial, yet there is a sense of daze in the multiplication of sources—a tension within the twilight. Birth is not the anticipation of revelation, but the uneasy perception of potential.
