Crushed Now // Distributed Presence
In "Distributed Presence", the third concert of “Crushed Now — After Turing // Beyond Presence,” Reinhold Friedl (inside piano) from the Zeitkratzer Ensemble, Francesco Palmieri (guitar), and Gerriet Krishna Sharma explore the concept of instrumentality as space. Friedl performs on the Neo-Bechstein, an exceedingly rare pioneering electro-acoustic piano from the early 1930s. His performance interfaces with Sharma’s 3-9-3 3D-audio loudspeaker instrument and live-electronics. Complementing this setup, Palmieri showcases S.T.OOGE, a custom-developed tetrahedral loudspeaker prototype. The performance becomes a compositional spatial practice where presence is reshaped as a dynamic balance between human and machine.
