RiverFoot-RealityRubs

RiverFoot-RealityRubs, by Wilhelm Matthies
“...you can never step into the same river twice...”
Hereclitus, 500 BCE

We breathe in, we breathe out.
Do we ever breathe in and out the same way twice?
Do we ever do the same activity twice?
RiverFoot-RealityRubs is an exploration of transforming structures and tones of daily rituals into music. It is an attempt at revealing some of the colors and textures of the undercurrents in our lives. Just as a reoccurring events in our lives are pre-scripted in a general sense, each piece began with a graphic tone row, a sequence of undetermined, relative pitches. Each musical event was performed as in a daily ritual in that the details are breathed in reliving of the event, giving more or less emphasis to different aspects of the event.
