Existinct
Frankfurt & Sofia, 2022
EXISTINCT is a music performance that investigates the persistence of sound beyond its disappearance — the after-echoes, resonances, and traces that remain once a tone has faded. Co-conceived and directed in collaboration with Ensemble Modern, the piece unfolds as a collective composition in which musicians act as co-authors, shaping both structure and atmosphere through shared listening.
Within this evolving sonic field, sound and silence continually redefine one another, giving rise to a spatial and temporal fabric that feels both fragile and vast. Rather than following a linear progression, EXISTINCT moves in waves — oscillating between density and absence, pulse and stillness — revealing time as something that breathes, accumulates, and remembers.
The performance invites the audience to inhabit this state of suspension, where every sound carries the memory of what has vanished and the promise of what might return.
