The composition “LOVE” attempts to create a cross-species understanding with the help of deceleration. The nightingale’s song, which is far too fast for the human ear to resolve, was stretched to ten times its original length, transcribed and this score interpreted on a cello. It is thus made comprehensible to the human ear and played live on the cello.
In the installation of the same name, this recording was accelerated back to its original speed – making it attractive again for nightingales. With the fresh memory of the musical slow motion, the human audience can gain new aspects from the resulting twittering.
