about

Fata Morgana (2015) is a piece in two parts for voice(s), tape, percussion and spatial effects. This is the first part.

A horizon is the furthest line on the landscape that the eye can reach. It is in itself unreachable, a place where opposites (land and sky or water and sky) forever try to meet each other, a place where light disappears and reappears. The mirage in this case is the magician (or the mind) producing imagery – morphing, diffusing, and shape-shifting. Brain and body, the mind versus the stimuli. Which is which?

The two parts are named after Bridget Riley’s Op Art paintings Loss (1964) and Arrest 3 (1965).

Similar to the hand painted optical illusions (or distortions) in Riley’s abstract expressionist Op Art paintings, Fata Morgana revolves around an auditory illusion as main material. Variations of the Shepard tone illusion of ever rising or falling pitches are used in deliberately imperfect or shifting repetitions and variations.
