RELAY is a three-year EU-funded research project supported by the ERASMUS+ programme „Cooperation Partnerships" that focuses on developing the artistic and educational fields of choreography, dance and music.
The concept that gave our project its name – RELAY – is based on deep trust in the transiting and transmissive foundation of both artistic production and knowledge development. RELAY underscores a fluid and processual element in the intersection of art and education. Not only does the actual production and development of knowledge and artworks depend on collective – and therefore transmissive – efforts, but the future life of those productions depends on how they are shared. For example, a dance technique only lives through those who practice it. A piece of music is passed on (through ear, instrument technology, or score) between practitioners, producers, and listeners. Every hand-over gives the possibility for development, re-iterations, and productive misunderstandings.
The exposition here gathers the findings, reflections and insights into the principles and methods of RELAY as well as obstacles, hiccups and (creative) failures as a work-in-progress.

mv2:k (2022-23) is a 22-minute piece of algorithmic electronic music in which the biblical creation story - read by seven people in seven languages - has been set to music. In the score, which can be downloaded here, all those aspects that could be highlighted as components of electroacoustic composing are explained: techniques and procedures (including code and patches, the latter of which can be downloaded via a link), analysis, theory, as well as remarks of an aesthetic, programmatic and literary character (the contradictions of which, incidentally, the author did not bother to resolve).
