(A) work for 5-8 singers, harmonium, playback and live electronics. The musicians perform in an alchemistic laboratory situation that is playfully and associatively oriented towards Hermann von Helmholtz's world of objects and ideas: A necromancy, a reawakening. The voices change their identities with the help of live electronic processes, become ghostly voices and encounter ghosts on gramophone and vinyl records that haunt the playback material: a subjective research into the past and sound. Playback and live sounds combine to form an overall phenomenon (...). (The work concept also integrates the Stabat Mater by Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina (c. 1590), analyzed by Helmholtz in the theory of sound sensations, as well as Hildegard von Bingen's hymn O Orchzis Ecclesia (Riesencodex, c. 1200))
