‘long low slow baden’ is a soft landing on earth. An acoustic immersive installation wherein the audience is one by one invited to lay down on an inflatable positioned beneath a tree. Moving up and down, feeling your own body, slowing down and sensing gravity. This movement makes two large ceramic flutes breath out, sounding long low slow tones.
The flutes create slow beatings which deform our perception of all sounds around, when you land on the ground the flutes stop sounding and you start hearing the remaining ‘silence’, the sound of the surrounding. This performative installation only uses human energy and gravity. Two audience guides move the mechanism, gathering the air around us, giving you a personal and intimate experience.
‘long low slow baden’ grew from the performative installation ‘Baden’, a co-creation with Annabel Schouten.
