Peter Ablinger:
IEAOV
Instrumente und ElektroAkustisch Ortsbezogene Verdichtung
"Instruments and Electro-Acoustic Site-specific Verticalisation"
pieces for instruments and a form of live-electronics by which a succsession of sounds as input become timbre as output
The basic operation for the IEAOV pieces is always the "verticalization" or "condensation": By condensation successive events are transformed into the simultaneity of a spectrum. A succession of sounds as an input (the "palette") turns into a color of sound as an output.
More examples with individual verticalisations from 2 pieces of the IEAOV series:
"IEAOV/Das Blaue vom Himmel" (cello: Michael Moser):
palette or prologue 1 of the piece with 4 high and 4 low tones, which results into the verticalisation of the "äuRho" layer
palette or prologue 2, which results into the verticalisation or densification of the "inQu" layer, here in its maximum density (14.641 celli)
later moments show the same layer in decreasing densities:
99 celli, 33 celli, 9 celli and 3 celli
"IEAOV/"Homage to the Square" (clarinet: Christian Vogel):
palette 1, which results into the following verticalisation
palette 2, which results into the following verticalisation
palette 3, which results into the following verticalisation

Sehen und Hören / Seeing and Hearing, photographic verticalisation, since 1994
A prestudy for the IEAOV series, produced at Experimentalstudie Freiburg, April 1995. The following excerpt is derived from a static verticalisation of all white piano keys (left channel) and a parallel, slow, eight minutes shift of the same verticalisation from C Mayor to C# (right channel): Quadratstudie 1995
