The title is inspired by the musical term "stretto", which is used to describe the
overlapping of themes in the exposition of a fugue. It's also inspired by the "stretto house", build by the american architect Steven Holl.
At the beginning of my work I composed 12 musical units inspired from 12 terms from Holls essay "Intertwining":
fluid space in motion - olfactory - haptic realm - torsion - primordial experience -
molecular attraction - concreteness of sensation - mass in tension - time is duration -
porous horizon - continous open flux - counterpoise
To assemble those 12 musical units with SuperCollider I used own recorded samples of electric and acoustic guitars.
The whole composition is constructed on one layer of impulses which durations had been modulated by mathematical functions. I used this layer to instrumentate the composition with the 12 musical units to receive a transition between wide ("stretched") and narrow ("stretto") states.
"stretto" was commissioned by and realized at the ZKM (Center for Arts and Media) at Karlsruhe, Germany in 2005.
