Wind Pressure Concert, 2021, score, print on paper, 8 parts, each 10 x 15 cm, En Plein Air, Munich
The score of the Wind Pressure Concert consists of the data on fine dust particles between the years 1980 – 2020, which Silvia Hell researched and collected from the public archives in Munich and Milan.
The data is divided into PM 2.5 and PM 10, and reflects the daily levels of pollution over that forty-year timespan.
The score branches out, triggering a quantum effect on the two composers, from them to the musicians and passers-by, who are also involved in the performance.
Frida Split conducts the musicians using the improvisational ‘Conduction’ method.
The audience interaction is guided by Nicola Ratti’s score, with the help of their smartphones.
