acoustic decor

Silence is the most beautiful sound - then comes the voice. That is the Vlaams Radiokoor motto. From the silence before the concert and in between the musical works, soundscapes sprout up from that peace and reflection. For this occasion, Stef Van Alsenoy created special recordings of the Vlaams Radiokoor: "First I recorded the four voice groups. Those layers are edited, slowed down and reconstructed into a continuous, ever evolving surround soundscape that very clearly carries the tone colour of the choir. Long after the music has disappeared, it is a slow sound cloud that remains. Thus the soundscape is not meant to be a new musical composition, but more so an acoustic decor that seemlessly connects to the choral works."
