“Animistic [for Donatella]” was composed of several field recording arrays I had made in 1999 and earlier, integrating as well the sounds of some tibetan bells and a metal chair. The material was roughly categorized according to the prevailing frequency spectra inherent in the recordings, and then a score was written for the live performances.
When performing “Animistic” I always added another piece, “Decaying Study 3”, allowing myself to intermingle completely the sounds of both works.
When playing the first two concerts I experienced a state of heightened awareness — more than I usually perceive while performing — which even resulted in me hyperventilating towards the end of the piece.
With the distance of several years I decided to analyze the work in its ‘incomplete’ form.
I always disliked live recordings somewhat (they were made at all three concerts), and mostly used them exclusively for documentary purposes or rehearsals. But the necessity to compose a ‘final’, concise studio version of “Animistic” was apparent.
The noise of the wind in the trees that occurs in the first part of this composition for me is reminiscent of some details in the films by Andrej Tarkovskij: the mysterious breath of the animated ‘Zone’ in ‘Stalker’, and the sudden gusts of wind in the corn field or the forest clearing which seem like entities passing through, in ‘The Mirror’. They seem to be willful beings, confusing both the characters and the viewer... - Marc Behrens
