While reading about the Ursonate, something interesting about it's cadenza was writen by Kurt
Schwitters itself: altought he did wrote a Cadenza, a truly imaginative performer should make/improvise
his own. What else could I do but write my own cadenza?
First, I chose from the score my favourite passages, the most rhythmical and process oriented ones.
After that I recorded a different sound for each phonem (those are hardly primordial
sounds, but still, what makes a sound primordial?).
Once recorded the sounds, I decided to sync their atacks with the correspondent parts of Jaap Blonk's brilliant
performance. So, I sampled the parts I wanted, made a little montage with them and then synchonized the recorded sounds
with the voice.
However, in doing so I couldnt complete the requested 4'33" lenght. The remaing final parts were then "improvised" and there's not much to say about that.
To bring the piece to life and to create a certain "collage" aura, I played with filters, reverbs, delays and chorus in a "hard-edged" way (by not using fades).
It's important to point out my decision to work the "tape" as a monophonic device in order to keep a natural flow as expect from a human voice.
