nothing? (2010)
Marek Choloniewski - ... nothing ? is a visual concept reflected in a form of a soundscape composed from three sources:
1. original audio recordings from the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow - the place with a long history since XIII century.
In 2005 for Expo in Nagano I created multichannel sound installation for the small scale model of Wieliczka Salt Mine exhibited in a Polish pavilion.
Hours of silent and subtle noises were not used for Expo 2005, instead they were hibernated for 5 years to be recovered and ready for another project.
2. natural ambient "silences" around Wieliczka town are part of a long series of audio recording from the most silent natural spaces.
high frequencies, around 18-19 kHz, playing role of space carriers.
Sounds from two natural spaces, one underground, and the second one from empty and open space above salt mine are overlapped and super-positioned, both are spanned by high frequency carriers.
... nothing? is a kind of transgression of my night dreams, where close rooms get unfolded as a cubic box in an infinitive open space and vice versa, the natural landscapes are projected in form of a flat theatre scenography.
The piece was commissioned by Michal Rataj from Czech Radio for the Radioatelier Program and was broadcasted live by as a World Premiere of the piece by EBU network of 16 radio stations on October 30, 2010.
