SOUNDSCAPE is a performative and improvisational sound composition, creating an overall atmosphere for a complete performative installation. With the use of unstable acoustic systems and continuous sound layers, Zsolt Sőrés confronts the listener with an evolving sense of time and duration that transcends questions of music to focus on the idea of shape, and the potential of sound representation as stream of consciousness.
Through the chemistry of sound he seems to have divined the most subtle vibrations that science is reveiling, and his inspiration has carried him to heights which were hitherto uknown in Music. By uniting the seven notes of the Occidental scale with the five notes of the Oriental scale he has formed an Absolute Harmony the effect of which is to rise every conception from its hemispheric to a spheric value.
