Cups and Seeds 2

Cups and Seeds is a piece for 4 players, cups, and different seeds or grains from the kitchen. The players should locate around the audience, not in front of them. The ideal situation is if everyone can move freely and choose what to listen to more closely. Many of the sounds seeds produce are so tender, that only the player can hear them. The piece accepts that the listening experience is different for everyone.

Hakula has notated the piece using a graphic score, in which the time is not marked: the length of the performance is open. It starts and ends gradually when everyone is ready.

In this installation, the viewer is allowed to try the sounds of the piece on their own and imagine these sounds coming from different directions and distances. The ceramics for this installation is made by Mari Paikkari.
