Spatial Reflections: Tampere Hall
Anna Hakula: concept and editing
Helena Holm: recorders
Jussi Suonikko: recording and mastering
The work delves into the mind of an improvising musician and reflects on how space influences improvisation. The piece is recorded in various spaces of Tampere Hall: on the main stage, beside the stage, backstage, in the audience, in the foyer's Winter Garden, and on the landing of escalators. Each space has different acoustics; the air conditioning and electrical devices introduce tension-filled background noises, and the atmospheres of the spaces vary. The focus is on listening, with the video providing information primarily about the recording locations. The performer in the piece is Helena Holm, recorded by Jussi Suonikko, and the overall realization is overseen by Anna Hakula (referred to as a composer, facilitator, or producer).
