Custom Headphones, Amplifier, Computer, Audio Interface

Each instrumental player is asked to wear custom-made headphones which induce different degrees of Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF). DAF prolongs the time between a sound event and its auditory perception. Due to this effect, chaos and mishaps slowly take over the musical order. The entanglement of the devices, the players, and the form of the canon gradually decompose J.S. Bach’s Canon per Tonos.

Cello: Augustin Maurs, Trombone: M. O. Abbott, Tuba: Robin Hayward
